White sage (Salvia apiana) is a small evergreen shrub with a rich history of use by Native Americans. This fragrant herb, native to the southwestern United States, is not only valued for its traditional and cultural significance but also adds a unique beauty to your garden with its silvery-green leaves and delicate white flowers. It attracts beneficial insects, providing a valuable food source for native wildlife.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start seeds indoors in early spring. Fill a planting tray or small pots with a seed-starting potting mix. Spread seeds on top of the potting medium and mist with water. Place the seed tray or pots in a location that is room temperature. The seeds need a temperature range between 68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit to germinate. White sage also needs light for germination. Check the seeds regularly for moisture levels and sprouts. Water when the potting mix dries, but avoid making it soggy. Germination should take approximately 14 to 21 days. Transplant seedlings to larger containers when they form true leaves. Keep the plants in a sunny location and water them when the soil dries completely. Allow excess water to drain from the containers.
