Hi! This is a great little salvia. The one I bought in December 2003 is still flowering; I think it only stopped flowering once for about a month in all that time. I've read that it self-seeds but I've only ever found one seedling. After the flowers fades just keep checking the calyces for ripened seed. They will be a dark brown, elliptic in shape, and measure about 2mm or 1/10th of an inch. There are often four fully developed seeds to a calyx so you should have plenty forever. I just tried sowing seeds I had collected in Dec 2003 and they germinated in a few days time. Below is a link to a pic of the seeds. Happy seed hunting!

Link to a picture herehref>, and below is a link to a Gardenweb thread description of seeds. Hope this helps, and glad you are asking! I got some spikes in trade last year but the seeds weren't on them anymore, lol... oh well, I got seed eventually elsewhere. :-) Was this plant easy to grow? I was thinking next year I should grow those seeds I got. ;-) Here is a link that might be useful: Thread from 2005 about purple majesty

Wow this is such an old post of mine... But I had a few responses so I thought I would post what I found. Last year, right before a frost, I collected all of the bracts off the plant. I wintersowed them in a milkjug, not worrying about what was chaff or seed. .... I GOT SEVERAL PLANTS THAT RESEMBLE THE PARENT PLANT!!! WHOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!

Does Kent Beauty produce viable seeds? What do they look like, does anyone have pictures? When is the correct time to harvest seeds?
