Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation
   No special seed preparation is required for Purple Salvia seeds.

2. Sowing

   • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or sow them directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

   • Fill seed trays or pots with well-draining potting mix.

   • Plant Salvia seeds 1/8 inch deep in the soil and lightly cover them with additional potting mix.

   • Water the soil thoroughly after planting, and keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.

3. Germination

   • Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C).

   • Germination typically occurs within 1-3 weeks.

   • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period to support seedling growth.

4. Transplanting

   • Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden.

   • Choose a planting location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.

   • Space Salvia plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.

5. Care and Maintenance

   • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

   • Apply organic mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

   • Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance.

   • Monitor plants for pests or diseases, such as aphids or powdery mildew, and treat them promptly with appropriate measures.

   • In colder climates, protect Salvia plants during winter by applying a layer of mulch around the base and cutting back dead or damaged foliage in late fall.

Purple Salvia plants are a great choice for any garden, offering beauty, color, and a welcoming environment for pollinators. They’re easy to grow and maintain, making them an ideal addition for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
