| I got a free sample of purple salvia seed. Instructions say plant in January. Can I start them in pots now? Since they are free nothing is lost. |

| Does the packet give any other info as to what kind of salvia these are? Maybe a Latin name? There are lots of salvia - some perennial, some annual. It could make a difference. Kevin |

| Package says ''perennial'' and ''blue bedder'' but when I Google ''blue bedder'' it say annual. No Latin name on the package. |
|
| "Blue Bedder" is a variety of Salvia farinacea, perennial in warm climates but an annual in colder zones. Check to see how well it does in your zone and whether you can start seed now or wait for cooler fall weather. |
|
| Also, "Blue Bedder" is a pretty good shade of blue, not purple. |
