New to salvia..in love and looking for seeds

16 years ago

Hi everyone,

I discovered perennial salvias last year and absolutely adore the few species I was able to find in my area. Can anyone recommend a good source for seeds?

I'm new to GardenWeb also (joined in January when I immediately got hooked on wintersowing). I checked the salvia exchange page to see if I could trade but it doesn't seem to be active. Is there another place I'm overlooking?

Thanks,

Amy

You can ask on the seed exchange. Are there specific salvias you are looking for? I have some on my seed list and have been doing SASBEs. Most of the perennial ones that I have are "Old World" salvias, though. There are also online vendors that have quite a few salvias, including J.L. Hudson, Seedsman and Specialty Perennials.

Definitely go to Seedhunt. All my Salvia seed from Ginny Hunt comes up quickly, with high germination percentage.

Also try Southwestern Native Seeds
