Salvia (Salvia Horminum Pink Sunday ) – Many gardeners consider Salvia Horminium to be one of the most garden worthy plants of the sage family. The Salvia Pink Sunday plant is easy-to-grow from flower seed, and it is vigorous, quick growing, nicely branching, and tops out at about 28 inches tall. Pink Sundae Salvia has 1 inch pink flowers grouped in threes which will last all summer long and sometimes clear up until frost season. Pink Sunday Salvia makes a great fresh cut flower and does well dried too as they hold their vivid color. Deadheading keeps fresh blooms coming, but this Salvia will also re-seed, so leave a few spent blooms on the plant to drop Salvia seeds for next season’s display.
How To Grow Salvia From Seeds: For earlier blooms, sow Salvia seeds indoors 10 weeks before last frost. Sow the flower seed in starter trays and press the seed into the soil. Pink Salvia seeds need light to germinate. When the frost season has passed, transplant Salvia seedlings into the garden 12 – 18 inches apart in a sunny location. Or, sow Salvia flower seeds outdoors in spring after frost danger has passed and prepare soil by weeding it and loosening it. Lightly rake the flower seeds into the soil and keep the seeds and young Salvia seedlings moist until well-established. Provide plenty of water in dry weather. Salvia plants grow best when provided moist, but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Salvia Flower Care: Removed the spent flower spikes to promote continued blooming. If the Pink Salvia plant begins to look tired in mid-summer, trim it back by 1/3, and it will be re-energized and reward you with more blooming.
Sowing: Sow in late summer to early winter for flowering in spring the following year.
Salvia sclarea is a biennial plant and like all biennials, seeds are generally sown in early summer, the young plants develop their first leaves and a good root system by the winter. In the coldest months they die down and return with a vengeance in spring ready to put on a first rate flower show
Sowing indoors:
Surface sow in pots or containers containing good quality seed compost (John Innes or similar) Cover with a fine thin layer of compost or vermiculite.
The compost should be kept moist but not wet at all times. Seed germinate in seven to 10 days at 20°C (68°F).
Prick out each seedling as it becomes large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost.
Sowing Direct:
Seeds may also be sown outdoors directly where they are to flower or in a reserve bed in a sheltered position. Prick out to 15cm (6in) apart and transplant in October.
Although drought-tolerant once established, a moderate amount of water must be supplied to young plants.
Cultivation:
Salvia sclarea is a very obliging plant, it will put on a show under almost any circumstances. If you grow clary sage in poor garden soil, it will hang in and produce tough little plants that need no extra watering to survive. But the richer the soil and the more water they receive, the bigger and lusher the plants get.
If you have a limited water supply, and can’t or don’t wish to amend your soil, it’s good to know plants that will survive under those conditions. Clary sage is one of them. It’ll even grow in semi-shade, though it much prefers sun. The only places it won’t do well are in full shade and boggy, permanently wet soils.
Clary sage is a biennial plant, it will grow a rosette of leaves in its first year, the following year it will send up stalks, flower, produce seeds and then will die leaving its offspring ready in the soil to return in its place. However, as with a number of biennials, if you stop the plant producing seeds, the plants will very often return the following year. They have not expended energy on producing seed and have enough reserves to see themselves through the winter to try again next summer.
Pruning the spikes is a difficult choice, because the bracts are so beautiful in the garden. However, the cut stems do look ever so pretty in flower arrangements.
