It’s new and it’s already an award-winning king among annuals in the salvia/sage family. Rockin’ Blue Suede Shoes Salvia fills up with denim blue/purple flowers all summer. Each black-colored stem rises above the green sage-like foliage with loads of buds. This little annual packs lots of power in its growth, too. It can reach nearly 30 inches high and wide, growing in an upright habit.

Gardeners don’t need to deadhead the flowers to get steady, long-lasting blooming all summer. Plus, the plant can take heat and drought and is deer resistant. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds all love the tiny tubular flowers. So, this salvia is a bright and unique choice for large containers, borders in the landscape or as mass plantings to fill garden beds and bring in the pollinators.

Rockin' Blue Suede Shoes Salvia Care

Salvias are notoriously easy plants to grow, and this hybrid is no exception. There is no need to deadhead or prune after planting. If you like, though, you can shape the plant to look its best in the spot or container you choose; it is plenty forgiving of the attention. Other than that, just place the plant in poor to average soil and water. Although classified as an annual that dies in winter, this salvia can survive winter in the warmest frost-free zones.

Since it can handle drought, water your Rockin’ Blue Suede Shoes Salvia regularly but only when it needs it, typically easy to tell by placing your finger into the top inch of soil and checking to see if it is dry or wet still. Fertilize the plant regularly throughout summer with a balanced fertilizer to ensure rich and constant blooming. If it undergoes severe drought damage, just trim off the top third of the plant to give it a boost of energy to regrow.

Rockin' Blue Suede Shoes Salvia Spacing

For a mass planting or border filled with unique blue and black flowers, space your salvias about 18 to 24 inches apart. In containers, place your salvia plant in the center or back to serve as the pot’s thriller plant, and fill in with low-growing foliage or contrasting flowers.
