Description
This mix of mealy cup sage, called Salvia farinacea Seascape Mixed, combines three fantastic varieties into one harmonious blend of shades of ultramarine blue, pure white and lavender blue spotted with white. Two of these varieties display flowers that evolve from silvery buds. These sage are perennial in their native habitat but are grown as annuals in most of our climates. These branched, bushy plants are also early flowering and bloom abundantly. This selection will bring a lot of elegance and poetry to borders and flowerbeds. They are also make for very beautiful cut flowers.
Salvia farinacea is a perennial plant native to Texas and Mexico, from the family Lamiaceae. Its tenderness and rapid growth make it an excellent annual in most of our climates. The 'Seascape Mixed' mix brings together three varieties whose flowers combine into a harmonious blend of blue, white and silver. The plants have a compact, bushy growth habit, developing mounds reaching 40 cm in height and width. They present bouquets of stems covered with greyish-green foliage made up of aromatic, lanceolate, slightly serrated leaves with white, downy undersides. From June to October, highly ornamental, dark purple, blue and white or pure white stems appear, bearing upright, flexible spikes, covered with small white hairs. They carry flowers with petals coloured ultramarine blue, bicoloured white and blue or pure white. White, silver-powdered buds bloom into lavender and white flowers. Mealy Cup Sage gets its name from the light glaucous coating covering its stems.
Mealy Cup Sage Seascaped Mixed is perfect as a bedding plant, planted in large drifts or combined with, for example, roses, marigolds or Rudbeckias. It will bring out the romantic beauty of large-flowered peonies.They can also be combined with grasses and gauras or grown amongst the silvery foliage of sagebrushes. This plant also makes for refined borders along pathways, where it can be planted with snow-in-the-summer (Cerastium tomentosum) which will cover its base with a soft, harmonious blend of muted colours. Its spikes recall those of lavender and last long in a vase.

Planting and care
Sow in February/March on the surface of a good quality seed starting mix. Make sure the soil is moist but not wet and seal within a polythene bag until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks at 18-25 °C. Expose to light as it is beneficial for germination.
Transplant the seedlings when they are large enough to be handled, in 8 cm pots and let them to grow in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out in the garden, after all risk of frost has been passed. Plant out, 30 cm apart, in a sunny spot in ordinary, well-prepared soil. You can also sow directly after the last frosts.
You can also sow directly, after the frost period.
Mealy cup sage thrives in rich, moist, well-drained, well-prepared soils, in the sun or in partial shade.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
