Salvia Amplexicaulis – Stem Clasping Violet Sage is a fragrant branching plant with whorled, two-lipped deep violet flowers, with prominent reddish-purple bracts, that form a nearly continuous spike. They also have wrinkled aromatic bright green leaves. The word salvia, which means true sage, and amplexicaulis which refers to the “stem- clasping” stem leaves that have no stalks, defines the name of this unique plant. These will look great in your garden during the summer and love full sun, and moist well-drained soil. They will grow between 24-30 inches tall, and will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. These plants are native to southeastern Europe and are great for beds and borders. They are also low maintenance, which is always good for the busy gardener.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
