''Salvia farinacea'', the mealycup sage, or mealy sage, is a herbaceous perennial native to Mexico and parts of the United States including Texas. Violet-blue spikes rest on a compact plant of typically narrow salvia-like leaves; however, the shiny leaves are what set this species apart from most other ''Salvia'', which bear velvety-dull leaves. == Cultivation == This plant requires full or partial sun and will grow to 18 inches or more with good soil and will attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The plant is hardy to USDA Hardiness Zones 8–10.〔(Missouri Botanical Garden: Salvia farinacea 'Victoria Blue' )〕 Crosses between ''S. farinacea'' and ''S. longispcata'' ( ''S. longispicata × S. farinacea'') are widely sold as ornamental plants, such as 'Indigo Spires' and 'Mystic Spires Blue'.
