Thanks in advance!

seems to be pflanzii. In my reference book saglione does not have a red centre in the flower.

Thank you very much, Dave and Mike. The seeds I sowed were labeled as saglionis but I was waiting for the flowers to verify the ID. Thank you!

Pflanzii indeed, saglionis hasn't flower tube at all and its flowers haven't red center.
Both are beautiful.
