This is a good plant, but it had a rough start because it was too small of a seedling when transplanted outside. Plus it was probably over watered. It has been blooming for months. I will move it to a sunnier location when the weather cools

I started these in milk jugs back in February and planted them out, not expecting much. But here we are in July with plants just as big and full of blooms as the gallon salvias I bought last month.

The seeds did take a while to germinate. Maybe because it is cold now. I direct sowed 1/3 of the packet and only 3 has come up. Didn’t give them any treatment.

All seeds sprouted. Great germ rate. Will def sow in cells.
