Soft periwinkle-blue flowers held in dark, near-black calyces.

Rockin'® Blue Suede Shoes™ Salvia is a sun- to part-sun-tolerant annual grown for its long bloom time and upright habit, bringing height and movement to containers and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

  • Adding height and vertical interest to containers
  • Building pollinator-friendly plantings
  • Creating contrast with lighter or warmer-toned plants
  • Filling borders with continuous bloom
  • Pairing with whites, yellows, or silvers

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The periwinkle-blue flowers stay soft but noticeable, while the dark calyces behind them give each bloom more contrast and definition. That combination keeps the color from washing out in bright sun. It blooms continuously without deadheading and holds a strong, upright shape through the season.
