Appearance:

 ‘Back to the Fuchsia’ offers a dazzling display of brilliant fuchsia-purple flower spikes that rise above lush green foliage from late spring through summer. The dense, upright habit adds strong vertical interest to the garden, while the bold blossoms create a stunning contrast against the fresh, deep green leaves. Mature plants typically reach 20–24 inches tall and spread about 18 inches wide, maintaining a neat and tidy shape that requires little maintenance. Its vivid floral display makes it a magnet for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.

General Care:

Salvia ‘Back to the Fuchsia’ is exceptionally low-maintenance, adapting well to a variety of garden settings.

• Planting Tips: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. This salvia thrives in full sun and performs best when given plenty of light. Space plants about 18 inches apart for proper air circulation.

• Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, this perennial is drought-tolerant and requires only occasional watering. Avoid overwatering, as soggy conditions may damage roots.

• Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.

• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a longer flowering season and maintain a tidy appearance. After flowering, a light trim may promote additional growth.

• Fertilizing: Feed in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to boost growth and flower production. Overfertilizing is unnecessary, as this hardy perennial flourishes in average soil.

With its brilliant color, compact size, and easy-care requirements, Salvia ‘Back to the Fuchsia’ is a proven performer and a must-have for any vibrant perennial garden.
