A favorite of hummingbirds, the Purple Majesty Salvia is a hardy perennial in USDA Zones 7a-10b that can be grown in garden beds or containers. In zones north of 7a, you can grow it as an annual or in containers that can be overwintered indoors. Perfectly designed for hummingbirds, the tubular deep purple flowers, which look like an opened pelicans beak, are produced in abundance from late spring through early winter. Simply a must-have plant for the hummingbird garden!

Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, Purple Majesty Salvia is ideal for growing in garden beds or large pots, planters and other containers of 18 inches or more in diameter. Plant near patios, decks, porches and other outdoor living spaces where the unusual flowers and the feeding hummingbirds can be enjoyed from up close. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens, perennial gardens, wildflower gardens, purple gardens and cottage gardens.

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Salvia variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

A hardy perennial in USDA Zones 7a-10b, Purple Majesty Salvia prefers a moist but well-drained soil and likes full sun to partial shade. Flowering will be heavier and plants more dense with more sun. It is tolerant of short dry periods when growing in the ground however will appreciate an occasional deep soaking when temperatures are high and weather is dry. This plant will let you know when it needs water. If the leaves start wilting, give it a soaking and the plant will perk right back up!
