Dara Emery's book 'Seed Propagation of Native California Plants' says:

No treatment; sow outdoors in early fall.  Germination may be poor.  The
following alternative treatments may improve germination: stratify 3 mos.
or soak in 400 ppm GA3 1 hr, then dry and sow.

GA3 is gibberellic acid
I have not tried Salvia mellifera.
