Description: SCARLET SAGE. If you want bright, dramatic red blooms from early summer through fall, grow scarlet sage. A compact (16"x10") plant that produces spikes of tubular, bright red flowers about 1" long. There might be hundreds on one spike. When the spike wears out, just snip it off and the plant will replace it with a new one. Scarlet sage is a perennial where temps stay above 34F and an annual in areas that don't. Also does well in containers and baskets. Mature plants are drought, heat tolerant and will thrive in rocky, sandy soils. Scarlet sage requires very little care after established. Weekly water and a little fertilizer if needed. Keep seedlings watered the 1st month. Scarlet sage grows fast and will start to bloom in 6 or 7 weeks. 300+ seeds per order. Thank You! Salvia coccinea. Perennial/Annual where temps fall below 34F. Spring. Soil temp 70F. SOW - 3 seeds per plant,1/16"deep. About 12"apart. Keep moist. Germination 10-30 Days. Thin to single best seedling. Use scissors to cut out unwanted sprouts. Height 16"x10" wide. Keep seedlings watered the 1st month. Then once or twice a week if no rain. Flowers are Bright Red. Blooms mid-summer through late fall. If grown as a annual, scarlet sage will reseed itself if the later blooms are left alone to die with the plant when temps drop. They will sprout next spring in roughly the same spot.
