Cool blue-violet flowers on deep indigo stems.

Rockin'® Playin' The Blues® Salvia is a sun- to part-sun-tolerant annual grown for its long bloom time and upright habit, bringing height and continuous color to containers and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

  • Adding height and vertical movement to containers
  • Building pollinator-friendly plantings
  • Filling borders with long-lasting color
  • Creating focal points in larger beds
  • Pairing with whites, yellows, or silvers

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The blue-violet flowers stay clear and saturated, but what makes this one especially useful is how the deep blue calyces hold after the petals drop, so each spike keeps its color and presence longer. It's also sterile, which means it keeps blooming instead of putting energy into seed, giving you a fuller, more consistent show through the season.
