Flower Salvia Seeds
Add upright flower spikes and lively seasonal color to your garden with ornamental salvia seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. Salvia brings vertical interest to flower beds, mixed borders and suitable container plantings, with varieties that can also complement fresh floral arrangements.
Why Grow Ornamental Salvia?
- Distinctive flower spikes: Upright blooms contrast beautifully with rounded and daisy-shaped flowers in mixed plantings.
- Pollinator appeal: Many flowering salvias attract bees, butterflies or hummingbirds, depending on the species and flower shape.
- Flexible garden uses: Choose varieties with a mature height and spread suited to your borders, beds or containers.
- Warm-season color: Many ornamental salvias perform well in sunny gardens, though heat, humidity and cold tolerance differ by variety.
Tips for Growing Salvia from Seed
- Follow the packet: Sowing depth, light requirements and germination conditions vary among salvias. Use the directions for your selected variety.
- Provide suitable sunlight: Many ornamental salvias favor full sun. Check the individual listing for any exceptions.
- Choose well-drained soil: Avoid waterlogged sites and use containers with drainage holes when growing in pots.
- Water during establishment: Keep seedlings evenly moist without saturating the soil. Established plants' water needs depend on the variety and weather.
- Allow room and airflow: Space plants according to their mature size and avoid crowding foliage.
- Maintain the display: Remove spent flower spikes where appropriate to keep plants tidy and encourage additional bloom.
Salvia includes many different species. Plant origin, mature size, bloom color and whether a plant returns each year depend on the variety and your climate. Check each product's details before choosing.
Ways to Enjoy Salvia
- Mixed flower borders: Use vertical spikes to add structure among plants with compatible light and water needs.
- Pollinator gardens: Include suitable flowering varieties as part of a diverse seasonal planting.
- Containers and arrangements: Select compact varieties for pots and varieties recommended for cutting for fresh bouquets.
These salvias are offered for ornamental planting. Do not assume ornamental salvia is interchangeable with culinary sage or suitable for eating.
