Rockin' Deep Purple Salvia Care
For the best performance and non-stop blooms, plant in full to partial sun. Salvia Rockin Deep Purple grows in hardiness zones 9 – 11, is not particular about soil type but does prefer good drainage. It has an average water requirement. For maximum blooms water and fertilize regularly and Rockin Deep Purple will maintain maximum color and growth. Once established will tolerate drought. Plants drop lower leaves when stressed or without water for extended periods. To revive, give it a quick trimming by removing the upper 1/3 of growth. A little water and fertilizer and the plants will fill back in nicely. You can also trim to shape or decrease size anytime throughout the growing season and this will encourage new branches, create a more compact habit with even more flowers. Deadheading is not required.
Salvia Rockin Deep Purple is an annual except in frost free zones where it will act as a perennial. Plants can be brought indoors to overwinter. Place in a very sunny window and decrease watering greatly. Blooms will decrease and may stop all together but will begin to bloom again in the spring when placed in full to partial sun again.
Rockin' Deep Purple Salvia Spacing
Plant 18 – 24 inches apart in containers. For garden beds and grown in mass, plants should be spaced approximately 20 - 22 inches apart. When grown in mass or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 20 inches apart.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
