Technical details: Botanical Name: Salvia splendens (Variety 'Alta') Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected. Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Annual (in temperate climates, it is grown as an annual due to its rapid growth cycle and abundant flowering. It can behave as a perennial in tropical areas or with mild winters). Maximum Height: The 'Alta' variety stands out for its vigorous growth, reaching a height of 60-90 cm, ensuring a notable visual impact and scenic presence. Main Uses: Excellent as an ornamental plant for creating vibrant borders, striking flowerbeds, and rock gardens, but also perfectly suited to growing in pots and planters on balconies and terraces. It attracts pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity. Organoleptic Aspects: Characterised by long, dense spikes of tubular flowers of an intense, bright scarlet red, which stand out beautifully against the dense, dark green foliage, creating an eye-catching visual contrast. Resistance and Origin: Native to the Brazilian rainforests, it prefers warm climates and sunny positions, demonstrating good drought resistance once established. Sowing Time: For early flowering, we recommend sowing indoors from late winter to early spring (February-April), about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Direct sowing outdoors is possible after all risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed (May-June). Flowering Period: From early summer until the first frost (typically July to October), offering a long and spectacular period of uninterrupted colour. Optimal Germination Conditions: Maintain a constant, stable temperature between 20-25°C and uniform humidity. Germination can be promoted by keeping the seeds dark or in very dim light, lightly covering them. Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil, rich in organic matter, with a slightly acidic or neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Recommended Exposure: For abundant flowering and intense, bright color, exposure to full sun is recommended (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day). Germination Time: Generally, seeds germinate between 7 and 21 days from sowing, depending on environmental conditions. Cultivation: Extremely versatile and adaptable, it is perfect for both pot cultivation on balconies and terraces, offering a touch of vibrant color, and for open ground in gardens and flowerbeds, where it creates striking flowering masses.
