Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is required for Purple Salvia seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area, 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 cover lightly with additional potting mix.
Water the soil thoroughly after planting and keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Purple Salvia seeds typically germinate within 1-3 weeks.
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period to support seedling growth.

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.

Care and Maintenance:

Water Salvia plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance.
Monitor plants for signs of pests or diseases, such as aphids or powdery mildew, and treat them promptly with appropriate measures if detected.
In colder climates, provide winter protection for Salvia plants by applying a layer of mulch around the base and cutting back any dead or damaged foliage in late fall.

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.

Happy gardening!
