Royal Blue Salvia Flower Seeds for Planting – Heirloom & Non-GMO Pollinator-Friendly Garden Blooms

Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date or sow outdoors after the threat of frost has passed.

2. Indoor Seed Starting:

• Sow seeds in trays filled with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.

• Lightly cover seeds or press into soil surface—some varieties require light for germination.

• Maintain temperature at 70–75°F (21–24°C).

• Keep soil moist but not soggy.

• Germination in 10–21 days.

3. Transplanting:

• Harden off seedlings for 7–10 days before transplanting outdoors.

• Space plants 12–18 inches apart in a location with full sun.

• Use well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.

4. Growing Conditions:

• Requires full sun (6+ hours daily).

• Water moderately; established plants are drought-tolerant.

• Deadhead to encourage more blooms.

• Avoid over-fertilizing, which can reduce flowering.

5. Seasonal Care:

• Performs best in hot, dry climates but tolerates humidity.

• Can be grown as a perennial in warm zones (8–11) or as an annual in cooler zones.

• Great choice for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens.
