Re: salvia for shade

Paul
thanks for the information. I have had the seed in the fridge for about 6 weeks now, so hopefully they will do well for me.

Most Columbine seed need a cold period to germinate well, so sowing now would work out good. If some of the seeds germinate now in your climate they should live over the winter without a problem-the small plants can take a lot of cold.

Most Columbine do best in more sun than shade-with most liking about half of each in moisture retentive soils that are well draining. The seeds will germinate better if exposed to light so do not work the seeds into the soil.
