Salvia - Blue Cloud Seeds
Start salvia seeds indoors 8-10 weeks prior to your last frost date. Can also be direct-seeded in fall.
Cold stratification will improve germination. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 weeks before seeding.
Press seeds into soil and do not cover, light aids in germination. Keep moist until germination in ~7-14 days (may be longer with cooler temperatures).
Transplant after your last frost date into a sunny location, with plants 12-24 inches (30-60 cm) apart.
