» High light in production is essential.
» Good water management practices are critical to healthy plant growth.
Avoid overhead watering late in the day.
» Using fertilizer high in ammonia content can cause excessive
vegetative growth and lack of flowers.
» Avoid saturated containers, and grow slightly on the dry side.
» Compact early habit is great for smaller container production. Growth
can be controlled using lower temperatures.
» A routine preventative fungicidal spray program is encouraged.

Notes:
The ROCKIN' ® series are wonderful annual Salvias except in frost
free zones. Compact and richly colored, they are easy and trouble
free. They are sterile so they will not set seed and that means they
will just bloom, and bloom, and bloom all season without stopping.
