Salvia Bodacious® 'Jammin Jazz' is a striking compact perennial (Zones 8-10) that reaches up to 36 inches in height and width, blooming abundantly from mid-spring through late fall. The vibrant, tubular flowers are a bold hot pink, set off by rich chocolate-black calyxes and stems that hold the blooms just above the foliage. The medium green leaves remain lush and vibrant, even under intense summer heat. Perfect for attracting pollinators, 'Jammin Jazz' is a favorite among bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
This Salvia x guaranitica variety, commonly known as ornamental sage or anise-scented sage, boasts moderate vigor and excellent branching, resulting in a compact, upright, rounded form ideal for patio containers and modern landscapes. 'Jammin Jazz' makes an eye-catching specimen and adds impact when massed in garden beds or borders, making it an essential plant for pollinator and hummingbird gardens.
Easy to grow, 'Jammin Jazz' thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soil types as long as they are well-draining. This heat- and drought tolerant sage is also deer resistant, adding to its appeal in low-maintenance gardens. Occasional pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages reblooming, and a spring fertilization supports its vigorous growth.
