Salvia farinacea, the mealycup sage,[1] or mealy sage,[2] is a herbaceous perennial native to Nuevo León, Mexico and parts of the United States including Texas and Oklahoma.

The inflorescence axis forms a blue, rarely a white hair.

They are dense blue or white hairy, so that the individual enamel teeth are barely recognisable.

The first description of S. farinacea was made in 1833 by George Bentham in Labiatarum Genera et Species, p. 274.

[4] This plant requires full or partial sun and will grow to 18 inches or more with good soil and will attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
