More About Salvia ‘Rockin’® Fuchsia’

Salvia ‘Rockin’® Fuchsia’ delivers electric fuchsia-pink flower spikes on a tall, upright plant built for serious summer performance. The saturated color is impossible to miss and holds exceptionally well through heat, humidity, and intense sun.

Like all salvias in the Rockin’® series, this variety was bred for strength, uniformity, and nonstop bloom, making it a top choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Rockin’® Fuchsia’ has been a standout heat-season performer, continuing to flower heavily when many annuals and perennials slow down. It maintains strong stems, resists flopping, and keeps a clean, upright form without constant maintenance.

We especially appreciate its pollinator power. Hummingbirds and butterflies visit constantly, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

‘Rockin’® Fuchsia vs. Other Salvias

Compared to compact salvias like the Mirage™ series, ‘Rockin’® Fuchsia’ offers greater height, presence, and impact.

When compared to classic upright salvias like ‘Mystic Spires,’ it provides improved vigor, stronger stems, and longer flowering season. For gardeners seeking a bold, upright salvia with intense color and professional-grade durability, Salvia ‘Rockin’® Fuchsia’ is an excellent choice.
