Thank you so much for posting your review. Please let us know if the plant that you received was either dark magenta or pale pink. We want to make sure that you received the correct plant that you ordered! The new salvia 'Skyscraper Orange' is a bright, glowing coral-orange. In some conditions the flower can look a bit more pink, too.

Not exactly orange... Thursday, October 1, 2020

The color is not exactly orange. Took awhile for it to reach it's stride, is prettiest imo under taller plants. But it was the first if my salvias to bloom. You can compare the color to a 'red' salvia in the photo
