When to Grow

Start seeds indoors about 6 weeks before your last frost date, as with the other Amore salvias, surface sowing them and keeping the soil moist; they sprout in 10 to 14 days. Wait until after your last frost to move plants outdoors, as this salvia is not frost hardy. Space them 12 inches apart in full sun with well-drained soil. Allow about 70 days from sowing to the first pink and creamy white blooms.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 7-14 days.
  • Start seeds indoor 10-12 weeks before last frost. Press seeds gently into soil but do not cover, as light aids germination.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun to part shade.
  • Provide well-drained soil; plants do not like excessive moisture.
  • Space plants 12-18 inches apart.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Molds and mildews can be a result of poorly drained soil and water on foliage. To prevent this, provide well-drained, dry soil.
  • If slugs are an issue, be sure to sprinkle diatomaceous earth or crushed eggshells around the base of the plant.

How to Save Seeds

  • Salvia readily self seeds in the garden, but you can also save seeds.
  • Several nutlets are borne at the base of flowers. Each nutlet contains a single seed.
  • Allow nutlets to dry, and harvest them before they drop to the ground.
