Hi All, We've just got back from a  short break in Brittany & whilst there we came across this plant with lovely Blue flowers. I'm assuming its a Perennial. It was about 18 inches high.
Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks

It's a type of salvia, not sure which though :)

Just looked it up salvia patens, probably Cambridge blue  ;)

My book shows a picture of that same flower (meadow clary or salvia pratensis)but the leaf is more oval than the ivy shaped leaves in the photo.

I think it looks more like the darker blue Oxford   :D

Here, I find it is a bit tender and can die in a cold winter  :(
