Planting & Care Tips

How to care for your Salvia Rockin Fucshia:This salvia performs best in:

Well-drained soil
Raised garden beds
Quality potting mix in containers
Sites with good air circulation

Avoid poorly drained soils that remain wet during winter.

Water regularly during establishment.

Once established, Salvia Rockin'® Fuchsia is relatively drought tolerant but performs best with occasional watering during prolonged dry periods, especially when flowering heavily.

Container-grown plants may require more frequent watering during summer.

For the best display:

Apply compost or slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Feed lightly during summer if flowering slows.
Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth over flowers.
Deadheading

Removing spent flower spikes will encourage continuous blooming and keep plants looking tidy.

Regular deadheading helps maximise flower production throughout the season.

During the Growing Season
Remove faded flower spikes regularly.
Lightly trim plants if they become overly tall or untidy.
Late Winter or Early Spring
Cut plants back to approximately 15–30cm above ground level.
Remove any frost-damaged or dead growth.
New shoots will emerge as temperatures warm.
Frost Protection

Salvia Rockin'® Fuchsia is not as frost hardy as some perennial salvias.

In colder regions:

Plant in a sheltered location.
Apply mulch around the base before winter.
Protect young plants from severe frosts.
Wait until spring before removing frost-damaged stems, as they can help protect the crown.
Growing in Containers

This variety performs exceptionally well in large pots and containers.

For best results:

Use premium free-draining potting mix.
Position in full sun.
Feed regularly during the growing season.
Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry.
