Plant information

Plant Description

Ignite your garden with Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’, a striking perennial that dazzles with vivid, deep purple blooms from early summer through to autumn. Its upright, bushy habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, or mixed perennial beds, where it adds structure and a splash of bold colour.

This variety is a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it perfect for gardeners who want both beauty and wildlife-friendly appeal. Its aromatic green foliage adds texture and subtle fragrance, enhancing the sensory experience of your garden.

‘Ignition Purple’ thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, is drought-tolerant once established, and requires minimal maintenance. Light deadheading after flowering encourages a second flush of blooms, extending its vibrant display well into autumn.

While hardy in summer, providing frost protection in colder UK winters ensures this tender salvia continues to perform year after year.

For gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, long-flowering, pollinator-friendly perennial with dramatic colour, Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ delivers both impact and reliability, making it a standout choice for sunny borders, containers, and wildlife gardens alike.

🌿 How to Care for Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’

How do I prune Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’?
Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ should be left through the winter, as the dead wood protects them from frost. They can be pruned in early spring, and more vigorous varieties may be trimmed again around June.
Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ can be susceptible to aphids, capsid bugs, whitefly, sage leafhoppers, and glasshouse red spider mites. Additionally, fungal issues like grey mould (Botrytis) can develop in cool and damp conditions, especially during overwintering.
Water Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ regularly during dry spells, particularly newly planted ones. Established hardy salvias are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during prolonged hot periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause root rot.
Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ require light feeding in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or compost. Tender salvias benefit from fertilisation every 2–4 weeks during the growing season using a liquid feed for flowering plants. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Propagation of Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’is prohibited without a licence
Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ should be trimmed around April or May, a technique often called the “Chelsea Chop,” once new shoots start to appear. Cut back to the fresh growth, and continue deadheading throughout the season. Vigorous varieties can be pruned again in July to encourage bushier, greener plants rather than tall, woody stems. Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.
Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
Salvia Vibe ‘Ignition Purple’ performs well in UK gardens if given full sun and free-draining soil. It’s hardy in most areas, flowers for months in summer and autumn, and suits borders or containers. Avoid winter wet and prune lightly in spring.
