ID please. Salvia?

17 years ago

Hi everyone. I got these seeds from a local guy that said they were a Salvia. I grow a variety of Salvias, and I have never seen anything quite like these. They have a square, somewhat fuzzy stem, and the seeds are approx 2mm, with about 20% germination. Any ideas?

Thanks!

This is most likely a member of the Verbena family, and definitely not a Salvia. It looks a lot like a garden weed from my area in central North Carolina.

Thanks Rich, it is Verbena urticifolia (white vervain)
I didn't think it looked much like a Salvia
