Salvia Flower Seeds
Salvias, also called sages, are some of the most versatile plants around. Most varieties are wonderfully drought tolerant and feature beautiful flowers with pleasantly scented, attractive foliage and some have familiar culinary uses. Plus, deer, bunnies, and other garden pests typically ignore the plants.
Most are perennials, but can be grown as annuals.
