Salvia Coccinea – Scarlet Sage is a tender plant with brilliant scarlet flowers, that are borne above bushy foliage of oval or heart shaped, hairy dark green leaves. The fragrant flowers are then followed by small seeds that may lead birds coming to your garden to pick out the seeds. These plants like full sun best but would appreciate some afternoon shade in hot summer climates. They will grow between 1 – 3 feet tall and have a blooming season ranging from mid-summer to fall. These plants are native from South Carolina to Florida, and then west to Texas and Mexico. They will self-seed in warm winter climates and are also drought tolerant. These flowers will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and birds to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. They are fragrant and showy, so they would be great for beds and borders. These plants are also easy to grow which is always a plus.

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!!!!
