I've gone through my seed collection and have a few "new" seeds from trades that I'd like to plant. Anyone have any tips for starting any of these:
Salvia Coccinea-coral nymph
Black and Blue Salvia
Cypress vine
Leopard Lily
Crepe Myrtle

I just did some Google searches and came up with these sites.....

Crape Myrtle and the only place I found any info, no pretreatment is needed and will germinate about 3 weeks after planting.
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/gl_trees_shrubs_flowering/article/0,,HGTV_3646_1375942,00.html

Both Salvia are the same general planting instructions ...seeds 1/4" deep, transplant to 18" apart, germination 7-14 days. Info taken from the packet of White Sage (Salvia alpiana) that I have.

Cypress Vine
http://www.gardenguides.com/seedcatalog/flowers/cypressvine.asp
and for years after the first planting you will be finding baby Cypress Vines coming up within a 10 foot circle of the original....this info from personal experience.

Leopard Lily
