The bright fuchsia flowers with a contrasting black calyx will make Salvia Rockin Fuchsia (Salvia hybrid) stand out from the other flowers in your gardens or pots all gardening season long. This variety of salvia can be grown in full to part sun conditions. This tall annual will grow to a height between 24 and 36 inches with a 24 to 30-inch spread with an upright habit.
Salvia Rockin Fuchsia has won numerous horticultural awards including top performer and best pollinator-friendly annual. This plant makes a great addition to a border or pollinator garden. It can be used in the thriller role in a container garden. The pretty flowers will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This annual is heat and drought tolerant plus it’s deer resistant too.
Rockin' Fuchsia Salvia Care
This is a low maintenance sterile variety of salvia. Trim it back occasionally if you want it to be fuller and have more flowers. Water and add a balanced slow-release fertilizer regularly for maximum flowering. Once established, it can tolerate low levels of water and nutrition. The lower leaves will drop off in severe drought conditions. You can grow this plant as an annual or indoors with enough sunlight and the right conditions.
This salvia won’t set seeds, so it will continue to bloom all season long without deadheading. If you forget to water it or it doesn’t rain when you’re away, trim back the top third and resume regular watering. The foliage will fill back in.
Rockin' Fuchsia Salvia Spacing
In a garden bed, space plants 18 - 24 inches apart, center on center. They can be planted a minimum of 6 inches apart in a container to achieve a fuller look. They’ll look great combined with taller plants that produce similar or contrasting color flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

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.
