Germination takes 7-15 days. Transplant seedlings when 5-6 cm tall, spacing 25-30 cm apart. Pinch the growing tips early to encourage bushy plants with more spikes, and deadhead to extend flowering. First blooms appear about 70-90 days after sowing.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow salvia seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow from September to November in the plains for colourful winter and spring flowering. In hilly regions, sow in spring after frost. The seeds need warmth and light to germinate, so press them onto the surface rather than burying them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan salvia be grown in pots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, salvia grows beautifully in pots and window boxes of at least 20-25 cm width. Use fertile, well-drained soil, place in full sun to light shade, and deadhead spent spikes to keep the blooms going.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51051449024758,"sku":"SED-FLW-SALVIA-004","price":145.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-salvia-bon-fire-flower-seeds-16969290711180.jpg?v=1782713696","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/salvia-seeds-3","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
