Salvia Sprouting!

My frozen salvia seeds are sprouting! After 48 hours in the cold and 24 hours on a coffee filter on our sunny, warm porch, both varieties of Salvia are sprouting. This is a lot faster than the suggested 3 weeks cold treatment and 10-14 day germination that is reported.

The salvia race is over... I'm going to pull the salvia seeds from the fridge and put them on the porch and see what happens. If they don't sprout in a few days, they're going into the freezer!
