Salvia Glutinosa – Sticky Sage is a showy plant with fragrant pale-yellow flowers speckled with maroon, growing in whorls of two to six. The stems of this plant are erect, with bright hairy green leaves. All parts of this plant are covered with sticky glandular hairs, which results in the name “glutinosa”. It is thought that these sticky hairs have a protective function against predators. It is native to Central and East Europe, and West Asia. This plant likes full sun best however it can tolerate part shade. It has a blooming period ranging from June to September, and deadheading flowers is recommended to ensure more flowering occurs throughout the season. These will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. The flowers are fragrant, so these would be great for cut flowers. They are also suitable for containers if they have excellent drainage.

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!!!!
