propagation of Silverado Sage Seeds

Canyon Lake, TX(Zone 9b)

Does any one know how to get silverado sage seeds to sprout. I collected a container of the seeds, and would like to grow some new plants from them. Krispi

From this website:

To grow purple sage from seed, press the seeds into moist soil, but do not cover them. They will germinate in about a month.

To propagate this species vegetatively, take 4 in (10.2 cm) cuttings of new growth in the summer after the plant has flowered and insert them in a rooting medium composed of half perlite and half sphagnum moss. Keep them moist (but not wet!) and they will root in a few weeks.
