Re: Salvia melifera germination

thanks for the info!

Anyhow, when i was working at CSU Monterey Bay's watershed institute
nursery we did work with several native plant species. We gathered
thousands of ceanothus seeds (in fact in one batch we cleaned we had
enough to fill half a coffee pot full of seeds). I was asking if Salvia
Melifera needed treatment because the ceanothus seeds sprouted better
when they were treated with hot water (in fact it was boiling water for
a few seconds). The strange thing about ceanothus seeds treated this
way is, the "tea" smells sort of fruity and has the smell of mixed
berrys (quite nice in fact). We cleaned the chaff off by placing the
crushed fruits in a shallow tray and blowing air over them, this way we
got almost 80% of the chaff gone and we could get the seeds by
themselves (looked kind of like buckshot)
