English name：Scarlet Sage

Latin name :Salvia splendens

When growing from seed, press seeds lightly into the soil or cover with perlite, as seeds need light to germinate. Start seeds of scarlet sage herb indoors in peat pots a few weeks before outdoor temperatures warm. Seedlings can be planted outside when both air and soil temperatures warm.

Grow scarlet sage plants in sandy loam, rocky soil or fertile soil that drains well. Scarlet sage plants grow best in a full sun area, but also perform well in a partially shaded location. Use them in rock gardens, borders, mass plantings and with other salvias. Reaching 2 to 4 feet in height, with a spread of 1 to 2 feet, scarlet sage plants occupy their designated area without taking over the bed, as some members of the mint family are prone to do.
