I got some Texas Hummingbird sage (pink) seeds last year and planted them. They don't germinate until the temps get to about 70 at night. They didn't bloom until late summer, which was fine by me since other stuff in the garden was going to seed. They bloomed well into late, late fall. They're prolific seeders and reseed very willingly. Some of my supposedly pinks came up red!!

Here's a pic of the red and pink together. I still have tons of seeds!! I winter sowed some just to see if it would work. The reds have already sprouted, but I've not seen the pinks yet. There's one plant of unknown color that survived our winter and is getting ready to bloom.
