I have two Salvia Coccinea Snow Nymph plants but I don't guarantee that the seeds will come true because I also have 3 other Coccineas - Coral Nymph, Lady in Red, and Forest Fire. Since it is my first year with Snow Nymph, I haven't tested the seeds. Becky ramazz

I will have Hibiscus acetosella seeds in about a month, I believe. My shrubs are begining to bloom right now. I would be interested in trading for your white Texas Star Hib. If you don't find a quick trade. Let me know. Thanks cocomo

Hi! I'm from Quebec Canada, I' would like to have your Salvia Coccinea seed to attract the hummingbird. I love hummingbird , maybe I would like to buy at www.alplains.com seed catalog , zauscheneria garrettii and agastache rupestris. Is-it someone try those seed, it's look great and easy from seed and good to attract hummingbird. Sorry my bad english I'm french canadian. If you can see the picture and the video of my garden http://s93.photobucket.com/albums/l71/lezard_2006/ or http://photosyahoo.com/pomerleaudanielle or http://pages.infinit.net/iguana Thanks Danielle

Christie; I've actually had pretty good luck winter sowing salvias. Last year someone had sent me some red S. guaranitica, but didn't germinate. I tried them again this (thank goodness I didn't sow them all) and they germinated. They look almost like FF with lighter foliage. I never investigate HOW they should be sown, but I'm pretty consistent with covering the seeds with a light dusting of soil. I should've mentioned that sometimes my camera can't take a good picture of red flowers; these were the best shots I'd ever gotten. Sometimes they come out a bit pink as well. I can forget about taking close ups of reds; they generally blur, or the color just radiates, giving me a lousy picture. Once in a while though I do get lucky. Here's the salvias I had winter sown with success: S. coccinea, "Forest Fire" - two years in a row. But, it didn't reseed last year :( S. farinacea - "Victoria", "Wedgewood Blend", & Mealy Blue Sage (tall & pretty). S. nemerosa, "Caradonna", although I don't remember where it is - may have died. S. x.superba - "Blue Queen" & "Rose Queen" S. x.sylvestris - "May Night" (although it looks more like Purple Loosestrife!!!) Salvia ? - "Violet Blue" Salvia "Yvonnes" - spectacular!!! The two that didn't make it: S. lyrata S. farinacea, "Blue Bedder" They were all winter sown between December and April, but my "Forest Fire" was sown very late, on April 30th, as was the red guaranitica. I'm harvesting seeds from both right now (yippeee!), although I haven't really noticed if I had gotten alot or not.
