Salvia Fisher Signature Salvias™ ‘Vivacious’

Common Name:
Vivacious Salvia

Description:
Salvia Fisher Signature Salvias™ ‘Vivacious’ is a showy, compact perennial salvia bred for its rich, saturated colour and reliable performance in warm, dry climates. Part of the Fisher Signature Salvias™ collection, this cultivar features vibrant reddish-magenta flowers with velvety texture, held upright on sturdy stems above lush, mid-green aromatic foliage. Flowering begins in late spring and continues through to autumn in Melbourne gardens, offering a long-lasting burst of colour that’s especially attractive to bees, butterflies, and small nectar-feeding birds. With a naturally compact, tidy form, ‘Vivacious’ is perfect for borders, feature pots, mixed garden beds, and contemporary planting schemes. It thrives in full sun, is drought and heat tolerant once established, and requires minimal care — just a light prune after flowering flushes to encourage repeat blooms. Its vivid colour and resilience make it a standout in water-wise, pollinator-friendly landscapes.
