Rockin'^® Blue Suede Shoes^™ Salvia hybrid

7a plant zone. 4hrs of sun and the plant is doing very well. Just move Rockin Fuchsia to a very sunny location to see how they’ll do in 6 -8hrs of sun. The Hummingbirds have the salvias all to themselves because I have other plants for the bees and butterflies to choose from. I also have Vermillionaire plants and the hummers love those to but these salvias are first before they go to the the Vermillionaire’s. I hope PW’s continues with more pollinator plant's. It’s not only enjoyable to watch the pollinators but makes us feel that us gardeners are helping the smallest of creatures to survive.

Although described as an annual, this plant survived the winter (and an episode of snow) in Zone 8b. I was about to dig it up in the spring when I realized it was growing back. It bloomed all last summer and has a neat, round growing habit. I also like it has larger, broader leaves than perennial salvias. It grew very well in a full sun location (10 hours) without excessive need for watering.

I love this blue salvia. I live in San Diego zone 10b and these salvias bloom year round here. They bloom a lot more during spring/summer than they do winter but it’s nice to have flowers during our winters here. I love the upright growth and my hummingbirds really enjoy this plant. I have it in a container and so far so good, it grows fine and blooms a lot! So definitely container tolerant - and I can’t say that about many other flowers/salvias that “claim” to be tolerant of containers. I highly recommend this salvia, it’s absolutely beautiful and looks very magical in my fairy hummingbird garden.

outstanding, did well gorgeous unique color and the hummingbirds love it as well. Will surely order again

Absolutely outstanding salvia! PW gave the grower at the greenhouse I work at this plant for trial. He in turn gave me several to try at home. In full sun they grew to almost 4' tall and 3' wide, in part sun just a little smaller. They were so easy to care for! I fertilized every two weeks along with my other annuals and watered when my soil felt dry. No dead heading required...they bloomed all summer long and are still blooming after several weeks of 30-40's at night and 40-50's daytime high. Best of all, they are an incredible hummingbird magnet! We have never had so many hummingbirds at a plant before...they basically ignored my lantana (my previous go to hummingbird plant) for these salvias! I hope my greenhouse carries them next year, or I will be scouring our competitors to find this again!!!
