Although we try to insure the purity of the seed listed<\/span>, we cannot guarantee that the seed will come true to form. Be aware that Salvia species can cross with other Salvias, especially in the case of the greggii \/ microphylla cultivars. Most bicolour Salvias DON\u2019T come true, most revert to the\u00a0 colour of one of the parents<\/p>

Seedlings happen in gardens quite often, so look for differences in these seedlings. Be very selective<\/span> and check for duplication of what Salvias are already existing and what is very similar<\/span> to other Salvias\u00a0 being promoted.<\/p>

This\u00a0selection<\/span>\u00a0process is to prevent confusion, as so many look the same or have similar names.
Please check the website : pages on Plant identification, New Salvias, the greggii & microphylla page and the various lists throughout the site.<\/p>

Any plant that produces seed has the potential to become a weed in an ideal environment, but few gardens have ideal soil. Most gardeners enjoy self seeding plants and all Salvias are easily\u00a0pulled out from areas where they are not wanted. Very rarely are they ever a pest.<\/p>

We do NOT sell noxious Salvia\u00a0 weeds or pest species eg. S. verbenacea<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Often some seeds can be difficult to germinate without a little help.<\/p>

Sow seed in Spring to Autumn, sow seed into pots with a very good seed raising mix. Sow seed directly on top of soil, DON\u2019T cover with soil, Salvias need light to germinate. Cover pot with fly wire to protect germinating seed from the \u2018Midnight Munches\u2019.<\/p>

Water either with a dose of Epsom Salts \u2013 1tsp in 1 Lt spray bottle, allow the mixture to dissolve, then spray immediately after sowing, then again once or twice before they germinate. The magnesium helps to overcome the dormancy.<\/p>

Smokey Water,\u00a0 and Smoked Vermiculite:<\/span><\/strong>
<\/u>Smokey water and Vermiculite are often used to help germination in the form of diluted Regen 2000 Smoke Water solution and Regen Smoked Vermiculite. These are available as Regen Germinator both from Grayson Australia in Bayswater Vic.
This is often used by Nurseries and Botanic Gardens to help overcome the dormancy in some very difficult seeds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
