Growing Salavia Nutans From Seed

17 years ago

Hi everyone,

I just receive seeds of this salvia. I'd like to keep the seeds and sow them next spring. but I know that some seeds should be sown shortly after ripening. Does anyone know anything about this particular seed?

It might be a good idea to sow these now. Germination can be very slow and sporadic. Can even take 3 months. BUT, do persevere, as the resulting plants are superb, usually will flower the year after sowing. Seedlings will usually survive hard frosts, just don't let them get water-logged.

Cheers..........Robin.
