I soak my Salvia seeds overnight in water with a dash of H2O2, too. Like Rick, I get higher germination and they germinate at more or less the same time rather than being widely staggered in their germination time. I use the little 3 oz bathroom cups to soak mine. I'd be afraid to use an ice cube tray because I'm far too klutzy and my seeds would end up puddle jumping and get all mixed up.
