Hi, hummingbirders! They are on their way up and I need to get ready!
So It's (past?) time to get the salvia seeds started for the Hummingbird garden (up here in Zone 6, anyway!).
I'm trying to start lots of different salvia seeds under lights and I am hoping for a big crop.
Does anyone out there have any special recommendations for how to start salvia seeds ? (I am especially interested in salvias that do well in our Zone 6a climate but I know others would like suggestions, too.)
I resurrected Marilynbeth's thread on Salvias for the Hummingbirds from 2 years ago for reference. Lots of good info here, too: [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]
On a different forum there was a lot of interest in 'Yvonne's' Salvia (which has an interesting story) which I think would be good for hummingbirds but I haven't heard any confirmation. I planted the seed but haven't gotten any germination yet...I wonder what I did wrong?
Anyway, attached is a photo of Yvonne and her husband and the salvia which I 'borrowed' from the Yvonne Salvia site. FYI Here is the link: [HYPERLINK@mamakane.com]
I would love to know which salvias you plant and any tips on how to grow from seed. Thanks. t.
