Salvia roemeriana 'Red Dwarf' / Cedar Sage / Seeds

A great first year flowering Salvia, with masses of bright red flowers all through the summer, from June to September.  These make good compact plants, growing to a height of 45-60cm and good for both borders and pots.   


Salvia ‘Red Dwarf’ does best in sun to part shade and well drained soil.  A position in well drained soil will help these plants survive the winter, as they are on the edge of hardiness.   Salvia takes good cuttings. 


Pack of 50 seeds.  Sow in spring and summer.  Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.

Conditions  Sun to light shade and well drained soil
Sow Sow in spring and summer.  Sow on the surface of a tray of moist seed compost.  Gently press the seeds into the compost and do not exclude light, which is needed for germination.  Keep at a constant 20°C and seedlings emerge in 3-4 weeks.  If there is no germination, move the seed tray into a fridge for 2-4 weeks and then back into the warmth.  Pot on and grow until the plants are ready to plant out after the last frost.  Overwinter plants in a cold frame or greenhouse in the 1st year.   
Grow Position plants in sun and well-drained soil to help them survive the winter.  Deadhead during flowering.   Remove spent flower stems as necessary, leave the plant over winter and trim back to early grow in early spring.  Feed container grown plants regularly to promote flowering.  Semi-ripe cuttings can be taken in late summer.
