Questions about crosses

I have a salvia darcyi seedling that I started this spring that looks very much like my salvia guaranitica - at least the leaves do. It hasn't flowered yet.

I'm wondering if crosses tend to get more traits from one parent than the other or is it just random. Are the flowers more likely to be blue like guaranitica or red like darcyi or somewhere in between?

Also wondering if crosses tend to have less nectar than their parents or the same. I'm hoping it will be a good hummingbird plant.
