Snow Nymph Germination

15 years ago

I purchased some Snow Nymph seed for Johnny's seeds a few weeks ago. I get some, way less than 1/2, germinating seeds, but all of them die.

I'm using potting soil and follow the directions in the linked thread below.

"http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/salvia/msg0210120713099.html"

From what I've gathered in here and other sites, germination should be relatively easy.

What can I do to get more/better germination? Any tips ya'll could pass along would be peachy keen and much appreciated.

You should have better success if you plant the seed outside in a flower bed. My S.coccinea Forest Fire &
Coral Nymph both have seedlings coming up from
last fall. You soil should be warm enough for germination. plant them were you want them. Do not be surprised when
you have a small area of them that keeps expanding. We are
in a drought and they still spred here.Have fun.

Thanks Art...I thought about doing this. I guess I'll give it a shot.
