Sow Blue Steel Russian Sage in spring at about 1/8 in. deep. Keep the seed starting mix lightly moist until germination, usually 14-21 days.
Grow in full sun and thin seedlings once they are large enough to handle.
Begin light harvest around 90-120 days when plants are established, cutting modestly so they can continue growing.
I recently wrote a review stating that I had received the wrong seeds and had not received a response from customer service. The company did eventually get back to me, and it turns out the correct seeds were inside a separate packet placed within the generically labeled envelope.
I had no idea I was supposed to open the outer envelope to find another packet inside, especially since the first line of the instructions said, “Please do not open the seed packaging.”
I do have the correct seeds. The packaging was frustrating and very confusing, but everything worked out in the end.
Absolutely stunning flowers! The sky-blue shade is perfect, and the plants are drought-tolerant, which is a big plus for me. Delivery was fast and packaging was neat. Great experience overall!
I’m so impressed with the quality of these seeds. Germination rate was well over 90%, and the plants are strong and healthy. The Russian Sage has become the highlight of my garden. Definitely ordering more!
