Salvia Pratensis - Meadow Cleary

Salvia Pratensis – Meadow Clary is a fragrant woody-stemmed plant that produces sticky spikes of deep violet flowers. It has wrinkled leaves and forms an upright clump and will grow between 1 – 3 feet tall. These plants love full sun however they can stand partial shade and do best in moist well-drained soil. Their blooming season ranges from early summer toll, and deadheading flowers is recommended to ensure more flowering occurs throughout the season. These are native to Europe, and an interesting fact about this plant is the Latin word pratensis, which means “of meadows”, refers to its preferred habitat. These will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. Some notable characteristics of this plant is that they are showy, fragrant, and drought tolerant, which is always great. These would be great in your garden, and they do well in containers. Great plant for pollinators.

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!!!!
