Plant information

Plant Description

Bring rich, velvety purple blooms to your garden with Salvia Rockin ‘Deep Purple’, a perennial that delivers months of vibrant colour from early summer through to autumn. Its upright, bushy habit makes it perfect for borders, containers, or mixed perennial plantings, adding both structure and drama to sunny garden spaces.

This variety is pollinator-friendly, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to help create a lively, thriving garden. The aromatic foliage adds texture and subtle fragrance, enhancing both the look and feel of your planting scheme.

Salvia Rockin ‘Deep Purple’ is hardy once established, thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, and is remarkably low-maintenance. Occasional deadheading encourages a second flush of blooms, keeping your garden vibrant well into autumn. In colder UK gardens, providing a layer of mulch or winter protection ensures its long-term performance.

Whether used as a focal point in a border or as part of a mixed container display, Salvia Rockin ‘Deep Purple’ brings dramatic colour, pollinator appeal, and effortless summer charm to any sunny garden.

Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.
