This variety of salvia tends to die back in winter, especially if it's cold. Varieties include Salvia elegans 'Scarlet Pineapple', which has pineapple-scented foliage and red blooms, and Salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue'.Sow salvia indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost. Sow seed thinly and evenly and barely press into seed starting formula. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 15-21 days.
