Rockin salvias are living up to that name across the country. I have never claimed to be a Madison Avenue marketing guru but the name Rockin for a salvia caught me as strange. Then again, who am I to instruct Proven Winners one of the most successful plant groups in the history of horticulture.
True to the name Rockin Deep Purple and Rockin Fuchsia are checking off the list. They are Rockin with color, Rockin with performance and Rockin with pollinators. That makes them winners in my book. I could tell they were winners before I had a chance to plant.
The newest, Rockin salvia Blue Suede Shoes, has champion written on it as well. These plants, have indeed been Rockin in my garden and commercial plantings around town so I have to concur that Proven Winners really did select a most appropriate name.
