The two-lipped blossoms are densely packed on the upright spikes and complemented by the silvery, felted calyxes. Finding attractive annuals with native roots can be a challenge, but more and more gardeners are seeking these kinds of plants. Unplugged® White fills that niche. It is a cultivar of Salvia farinacea which is native from Florida, west to Texas and New Mexico. These native roots hint towards its strong tolerance of heat and humidity.
