Salvia farinacea `Rhea' appears to be someone's selection. Does anyone know who that might be? S. f. `Henry Duelberg' (blue) and `Augusta Duelberg' (white) are selections from east Texas in USDA Zone 8. These can probably be deadheaded, but not as effectively as S. f. `Indigo Spires'

Any word on the new Ball intro `Mystic Spires'?

I have the S.f. 'Rhea', and it's in full bloom right now. Last year, I deadheaded it, and it rebloomed and continued to do so for quite some time. :)

Can anyone tell me is s.rhea is perennial or annual?

I think it's an annual in the UK... unless you can bring it inside.

Thanks heathen1 your info appreciated.
