About this Plant
Ignition Sunrise VIBE Salvia (Salvia x jamensis VIBE 'Ignition Sunrise') is a breathtaking, warm-toned perennial salvia from the celebrated VIBE series, producing a prolific succession of vivid, multi-toned flower spikes in glowing shades of golden-orange and soft yellow that shift and intensify with the light — a dynamic, sunrise-inspired color palette that brings an exceptional sense of warmth, energy, and luminous tropical beauty to mixed perennial borders, pollinator gardens, and container arrangements from late spring through fall. The VIBE series is renowned for its exceptional vigor, superior heat tolerance, prolific non-stop blooming, and compact well-branched habit that delivers consistently outstanding seasonal performance throughout the entire warm growing season.
Grown from certified organic heritage stock, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system — dense, fibrous, and fully established for vigorous first-season performance. Ignition Sunrise thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is highly drought tolerant once established, excelling in water-wise, Mediterranean-style, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance organic landscape applications across a wide range of warm-climate growing conditions. Its warm, dynamic sunrise-inspired color palette, compact aromatic habit, exceptional drought tolerance, and outstanding hummingbird and pollinator value make it a standout specimen, bold border anchor, and essential wildlife garden plant throughout the entire long bloom season.

- Premier Hummingbird & Pollinator Plant — Warm golden-orange and yellow tubular flower spikes are outstanding attractors for hummingbirds, bumblebees, native bees, and beneficial insects throughout the remarkably long bloom season from late spring through fall.
- Outstanding Drought & Heat Tolerance — Salvia jamensis hybrid genetics combined with VIBE series improvements deliver exceptional drought and heat tolerance once established — essential for water-wise, fire-resistant, and Mediterranean-style organic landscape applications.
These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (6–8 hours daily) with well-drained soil and moderate moisture — water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as strong drought tolerance develops. Hardy in USDA zones 7–10, growing 18–24" tall with a spread of 18–24". Dynamic golden-orange and yellow flower spikes bloom late spring through fall (May–October); trim lightly after each major bloom flush to encourage vigorous continuous reblooming and maintain a tidy, well-branched compact form throughout the extended season.
