Salvia Butterfly Scarlet - Cornucopia Seeds

Salvia coccinea

Carefree Scarlet Sage grows easily in a wide range of conditions, offering rich red flowers all summer long. Butterflies and hummingbirds love these nectar rich blossoms. Great for planting in containers. 

Gardener's Notes: In late spring, sow in full sun in well-worked beds or in large containers only after night temperatures reach 50F (10C). Plant 2-4 Inches apart and cover very lightly. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart so plants have room to mature. To start early indoors: sow seeds 4-5 weeks before last frost date in seed starting mic 1 inch. apart and cover very lightly. Keep moist but not soggy. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant outside after night temperatures are warm and settled.
