Salvia or Scarlet Sage 
The Scarlet Sage is one of the most brilliant bedding plants; blooms from early 
summer until frost. Popular for beds, borders, edgings and pot culture; may 
be used for cutting. There are tall and dwarf varieties for different purposes. 
All are best treated as annuals but seed must be started early indoors in boxes 
of light, rich soil and placed in a warm, sunny window.
