I just took some pictures of the Mesa Purple, Mesa Azure, and a Salvia macrophylla x sagittata Big swing in a composite setting to show the relative shades of the flowers. One of the pix is attached.

As to habit, I think these will be at least 2 feet tall and wide, probably more like 3 x 3. I estimate that they will be pretty good bloomers, especially in the spring and autumn, and might need a little shade in Florida and California. Mostly sun and drainage is good for these plants, with a little slow release fertilizer, humus, and limestone in the soil.
