Seed Needs, Scarlet Red Sage Seeds - 800 Heirloom Seeds for Planting Salvia coccinea - Perennial Wildflower for an Outdoor Garden, Open Pollinated & Attracts Pollinators (1 Pack)

I was doubtful of the germination and vitality of buying bulk seeds. But, after doing a several tests with 100 seeds in damp paper towels I found that about 90% of the test seeds germinated. That was pretty shocking to me. I must have gotten an excellent batch of seeds. I started approximately 200 pots with 3-5 seeds in each pot. They germinated in about 7 days. That also was way sooner than I expected.I then broadcast spread 1/8th of a cup into a prepared raised bed. I kept them moist but not drowning. They are doing well and I can't wait till next year to see them bloom. I have plenty of seeds left over, so I'll probably throw the rest in my pollinators garden bed. Or broadcast into my field.I have had problems with buying seeds from this vendor before. The seeds either didn't germinate or the germination rate was horrendous. This time, I'm very happy with the results.

I planted the seeds a few months back and one of them seems to have sprouted have a very large sage plant. The flowers are very pretty. They attract pollinators. They seeds worked out well.

I should have heeded the reviews about the seeds. Not one of them germinated, and I planted them in arable soil.

Take a long time to germinate and grow.

Planted some seeds and three days later they were sprouted. Estimation is about 90% or more have sprouted in 1st planting (about 40 seeds). They are nice and strong plants so far. I had good luck with this brand seeds in the past.

These seeds took off quick,and only planted half pkg. They all sprouted and growing nice and tall now even have flowers. Good seeds!!!!

I planted 81 seeds in 27 peat pods on a heated mat and only 22 germinated, for a 27% germination rate. I'm a master gardener, so I know what I'm doing. This germination rate is unacceptably low.

I planted these in May and it’s now the first week of August and I have blooms! I’m so excited! My whole water trough has the red and purple variations.
