The bracts on these were just as color-saturated as any other indigo-blue salvia's flowers would be. I enjoyed them planted with S. viridis Pink Sunday in early summer. I didn't think to deadhead because the colored bracts lasted longer than flowers would have, but if I had, I may have gotten another bloom in fall. I believe you can get them both in a seed mix called Marble Arch.
