How to Grow
For earlier blooms, sow Salvia seeds indoors 10 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds in starter trays and press the seed into the soil. Salvia flower seed needs light to germinate. When the frost season has passed, transplant the Salvia seedlings into the garden 12 - 18 inches apart in a sunny location. Or, directly sow Salvia seeds outdoors in spring after frost danger has passed and prepare soil by loosening it. Lightly rake White Salvia seeds into the soil and keep the seeds and young seedlings moist until well-established.
