Salvia Back to the Fuchsia

Not just a clever name! Back to the Fuchsia is simply a must-have for sunny garden sites, this boldly bright salvia is part of the COLOR SPIRES® Collection and is the darkest pink in this series. It reliably produces tall spikes of vivid pink blooms in abundance upon deep charcoal-gray stems. Butterflies, hummingbirds and pollinators of every kind will become regular visitors to the borders and beds. An amazing sight when planted in groups. For best results, sheer the flowers back for a rebloom later in the season. PPAF CPBRAF
