Salvia Roemeriana-Arriba. The Arriba is a showy, short, and compact herbaceous perennial that blooms from May to October. This upright multi-branched plant is infused with multitudes of tubular two lipped flowers of vibrant scarlet red. Underneath these striking beauties is grass green foliage that gives off a cedar-like aroma when crushed. This particular sage is one that is NOT edible like its other family members, but it sure will put some pizazz in a pot, a garden, or fresh cut in a vase. It is easy to grow and maintain and will give you first season blooms. It is a self sower and forms colonies but doesn’t grow fast enough to be invasive. The flowers will keep coming if deadheaded when the flowers are spent, or let it go and look forward to another season of wonderful, scented sage.

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!!!!
