Fashion™Burgundy - Salvia x Buchananii

Fashion® Burgundy is a distinctive color form in the Salvia buchananii Fashion series, with deep burgundy blossoms and dark bracts. Lucas Greenhouses lists an upright, vigorous plant about 20–24 inches tall and 15–18 inches wide, while a garden profile reports larger mature dimensions of 2–3 feet high by 3–4 feet wide. See the [Lucas profile](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Salvia-buchananii-Fashion-Burgundy) and [Flowers by the Sea profile](https://www.fbts.com/salvia-Fashion-Burgundy.html) for the distinct production and mature-garden measurements. ## Garden Use Use this salvia in a sunny border or container where its dark, burgundy flowers can contrast with lighter planting. Flowers by the Sea describes it as a container plant and notes that hummingbirds visit its flowers. In colder climates it can be grown as a summer annual; it is perennial in warmer regions. ## Growing Conditions The garden profile recommends full sun to partial shade, rich, well-drained soil, and average watering. Lucas reports the upright, vigorous Fashion series produces abundant blooms and is day-length neutral. Allow space for the larger mature spread reported by garden growers. ## Maintenance Remove spent stems when the display fades to keep the planting tidy. In regions with frost, plant after the last frost and treat it as a seasonal annual.
