Salvia farinacea 'Augusta Duelberg' (Mealy Cup Sage)

SunZone: 7b-9, at least 30" tall Origin: USA

Leave it to Texan Greg Grant to have nothing better to do on a summer day than wander through old graveyards, where he stumbled on a clump of Salvia farinacea gracing the Texas gravesite of Augusta Duelberg. The cuttings rooted and Salvia 'Augusta Duelberg' was born. This splendid selection of the Texas native Salvia farinacea makes a compact 30" tall x 4' wide specimen, topped from May until frost with hundreds of spikes of silvery-white flowers. Obviously heat- and drought-tolerant, this salvia has been a real standout in our trials. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
