Rockin'® Deep Purple Salvia

Rockin'® Deep Purple is the original named salvia selection associated with the cultivar denomination BBSAL09001. It produces deep purple flower spikes with dark calyces and works as a tall accent in sunny or partly shaded beds and containers. ## Flowers and form The [Plant Addicts profile](https://plantaddicts.com/rockin-deep-purple-salvia) describes upright plants about 30–40 inches tall and 24–30 inches wide, with green foliage and continuous flowering from spring until hard frost, spanning spring, summer, and fall where frosts occur. Its scientific-name field identifies BBSAL09001 and USPP 30,206; the [patent record](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP30206P3/en) confirms that cultivar denomination. ## Growing conditions The seller lists USDA Zones 9–11, full to partial sun, good drainage, and average water. It describes the plant as drought tolerant once established and lists bees, birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds among visitors, with deer resistance. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment and extended dry weather. Remove spent stems if a tidier appearance is wanted; the source describes the selection as sterile and continuously blooming, so deadheading is not needed to prevent seed formation.
