Salvia gesneriiflora..................
It's a winter blooming species from Mexico. What that means in the UK is that you need to keep it frost free over the winter, but cool enough to stop it blooming (the short daylight hours make it a poor winter bloomer) so that it actually blooms in the spring.
It is actually very hardy and has come back from minus six but obviously you lose the bloom season if that happens.
