75 Seeds

White sage, scientifically known as Salvia apiana, is a perennial shrub native to the southwestern United States. Valued for its aromatic leaves, it is often used in spiritual ceremonies and smudging rituals for its believed cleansing properties.

White sage (Salvia apiana) has specific growing requirements:

1. **Size:** Typically grows to about 3–4 feet in height, forming a compact, bushy structure.

2. **Leaves:** Silvery-white, lance-shaped leaves that are highly aromatic when crushed.

3. **Flowers:** In late spring to summer, it produces tall spikes of small, tubular white flowers.

4. **Habitat:** Native to arid regions, it thrives in well-draining, sandy soils and prefers full sunlight.

5. **Watering:** White sage is drought-tolerant once established, so it prefers infrequent, deep watering.

6. **Climate:** Suited for USDA hardiness zones 8-11, where temperatures remain above freezing.

7. **Pruning:** Prune sparingly to maintain its natural shape and encourage bushiness.

8. **Cultural Significance:** Often used in Native American ceremonies and spiritual practices for its aromatic and cleansing properties.

Remember, replicating its natural habitat conditions is key to successfully cultivating white sage.

To sow white sage seeds, start by preparing well-draining soil in a container or directly in your garden. Scatter the seeds on the soil surface, pressing them lightly into the soil without covering them too deeply. Water the seeds gently, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the container in a sunny location, and germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once the seedlings are established, you can transplant them to their permanent location, spacing them appropriately. Remember, white sage prefers a sunny and dry environment.
