Add bright, fuchsia-pink flower spikes to your sunny beds and borders with Salvia × 'Color Spires® Back To the Fuchsia'. This perennial salvia (Perennial Salvia 'Color Spires® Back To the Fuchsia') grows into a neat, upright, mounded plant that typically reaches about 22-24 inches tall and 22-24 inches wide, creating a strong block of color without getting floppy.
Plant it where it will receive full sun for the most flowers and the tightest habit. You will get the best performance in well-drained soil; water regularly as the plant establishes, then water when the top few inches of soil dry. Once rooted in, it is tolerant of occasional dry spells, but consistent moisture during peak growth can help keep the blooms coming.
To encourage rebloom, you can remove spent flower spikes as they fade or shear the plant back after a flush of flowers. In spring, cut back old stems as new growth emerges to keep the plant looking fresh and compact. This variety also offers fragrant flowers and aromatic foliage, adding sensory appeal along walkways and patios.
Salvias are well known for pollinator value, and this one is no exception: you will often see butterflies and hummingbirds visiting the blooms. It also shows good resistance to browsing, making it a smart choice in gardens where deer and rabbits are common. Use it in drifts for bold impact, tuck it into mixed perennial borders, or pair it with other sun-loving perennials for a long season of color.
