Salvia (Salvia Pratensis) - Grow this showy flower from Salvia seeds, and enjoy a display from early summer up until frosts begin. Also known as Meadow Clary or Meadow Sage, this woody-stemmed  perennial produces sticky spikes of deep, brilliant blue flowers. The re-blooming is most reliable if spent flowers are deadheaded promptly. This Salvia Meadow Sage has wrinkled leaves and forms an upright clump 28 inches tall and 12 inches wide. It is perfect for the mixed border or even a container. Growing Meadow Sage is very rewarding and butterflies and other beneficial insects will adore the Salvia flowers!

If you want to get an early start, sow these Salvia seeds indoors 10 weeks before last frost. Sow Salvia Pratensis seeds in starter trays and press the seed into the soil. Meadow Clary seeds need light to germinate. When the frost season has passed, transplant the Salvia seedlings into the garden 12 - 18 inches apart in a sunny location. Give them plenty of water in dry weather. Salvia grow best when provided moist, but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade.
