Description

Salvia glutinosa, commonly known as the sticky sage or Jupiter s distaff, is a captivating perennial herb native to Europe and western Asia. This plant is celebrated for its tall spikes of tubular, cream, to yellow flowers that bloom in dense clusters, creating a striking and visually pleasing display in gardens and natural landscapes. The leaves of sticky sage are heart-shaped and coated with a glandular, adhesive substance that gives the plant its common name. It thrives in various habitats, including meadows, woodlands, and rocky slopes. This versatile and hardy plant is well-adapted to different soil types and light conditions, making it a valuable choice for gardeners and landscape designers. While sticky sage doesn t have the same level of popularity as some other Salvias, it offers an enchanting addition to gardens and provides food for pollinators like bees and butterflies. With its unique appearance and adaptability, Salvia glutinosa stands as a lesser-known but delightful choice for those seeking a touch of elegance and ecological value in their outdoor spaces.  Zones 7-9

Germination

Germinating Salvia glutinosa (sticky sage) seeds is a relatively straightforward process. Prepare a seed-starting tray or pots with a well-draining, sterile seed-starting mix. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and gently press them down for good contact. Water the soil thoroughly to maintain consistent moisture without overwatering. Place the container in a sunny location or under grow lights and maintain a temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Germination typically occurs within one to two weeks. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into your garden or chosen location, where they will grow into captivating and pollinator-attracting sticky sage plants, adding an elegant touch to your landscape. Salvia glutinosa is an easy-to-germinate plant with its unique appearance and ecological value, making it an intriguing choice for gardeners.
