Coral Nymph Salvia seeds
Start your salvia seeds 4-6 weeks before your last frost date to give your seedlings plenty of time to put on growth before you plant them in the garden.
planting seeds
Place the seeds on top of the soil and gently press them down to ensure good contact. These seeds need light to germinate, so don't cover them with soil.
temperature and light
Place the seed tray under grow lights or in a bright space such as a greenhouse. My grow lights are on a timer that stays on for 16 hours a day, then turns off at night.
Hardening off
Gradually expose them to sunlight, wind, and temperature fluctuations over the course of 7-10 days, increasing the duration of exposure each day.
transplanting coral nymph salvia
Plant them at the same depth as they were in the seed trays or pots, water them thoroughly, and apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to give them a great start in their new environment.
Coral Nymph Salvia care
Regular watering is crucial, but take care not to overwater. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Mulch will help retain moisture, as well as suppress weeds.
