Description:
Salvia Apiana is a small evergreen shrub native to the deserts and mountainous regions of the Pacific Coast of the United States and Mexico. The plants tolerate dryness with ease and will grow in soil that is gravelly, sandy, or heavy clay as long as well drained. White Sage is quite ornamental, with 1-inch flowers on spikes above the foliage, attracting bees (favorite of bumblebees), butterflies, and hummingbirds. The plants have a neat mounding habit, and the foliage turns a silvery white as it matures. The flower spikes make lovely cut flowers. Both the dried flowers and the interesting dried seed pod spikes are wonderful for arrangements. The flowers and the foliage of Salvia Apiana are fragrant, and Native Americans use this Sacred Sage to make smudge sticks used for ceremonies. The plants also have many other herbal and traditional uses.

I’ve placed several orders from this store and received great packs of seeds. I’m still waiting for the others to sprout, but these white sages are sprouting into beautiful plants already. What an amazing chance to get tens of white sage plants for about five dollars
