Description
The Sage or Salvia splendens Gogo Purple is a new cultivar, offering dense, dark purple flowers in spikes for a very long period. Its vigorous growth allows it to reach a height of 1m (3ft) in just a few months. This plant is actually a perennial, but is grown as an annual in our climate. A highly floriferous selection, ideal for borders and containers.
The hybrid Sage Gogo Purple is a plant from the Lamiaceae family, derived from Salvia splendens, native to the hot and humid regions of Brazil at high altitudes. A herbaceous perennial in its country of origin, this fast-growing frost-sensitive plant offers one of the most remarkable flowerings in summer borders. Gogo Purple inherits its vigour, forming an upright clump that will reach a height of 1m (3ft) in just a few months, although the stems can be pinched in spring to achieve a denser and shorter plant. Its flowering is abundant from late spring until the first frost. This variety is adorned with tubular flowers gathered in short and dense spikes, of a rich purple-violet colour. The bracts surrounding the flowers are even darker. This plant bears oblong, dark green leaves in a 'spade' shape. This sterile variety does not produce seeds.
Annual sages are widely used as bedding plants, in flower beds where they succeed spring bulbs and bloom throughout the summer. They can also be used to fill containers on the patio. Their vibrant colours attract all eyes. 'Go Go Purple' offers a less vibrant colour than the usual red, making it an opulent yet elegant plant that complements well the pastel or even vibrant colours of the companion plants. Create a delightful combination by pairing it with Salvia farinacea 'Victoria' or clary sages.

Planting and care
Plant your Gogo Purple salvias in a sunny location or possibly partial shade. They require a light and humus-rich soil and appreciate a fertiliser application. They tolerate a rather dry soil quite well, but make sure the roots stay damp by mulching them if there is intense heat. You can also plant your salvias in pots, where they will be regularly watered. Usually grown as annuals, they are actually delicate perennials: by bringing them indoors at the first frost, you can extend their flowering into autumn and winter. Outdoor cultivation is possible by the seaside, with proper winter mulching. Plan for light pruning in March.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
