Salvia Napifolia. Aka: Turkish Sage. Herbaceous sage is a perennial native to Turkey. The plant is a small clumping evergreen with numerous long upright woody stems and hairy soft leaves. Blooms are produced on wide spaced 1 foot inflorescences with whorls of small pale lavender to purplish violet flowers, and leaves shaped like turnips. Its natural habitat is on rocky slopes and disturbed roadsides. Attracts Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Bees as well as other beneficial pollinators. Bloom time is from May to August.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
