Revered by many Indigenous peoples of North America, it has traditionally been used as a food source, medicinal plant and within cultural and ceremonial practices. Its distinctive silvery-white foliage is soft to the touch and releases a strong aromatic fragrance when brushed or crushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to approximately 1.5 m tall, White Sage develops woody stems at the base with softer new growth toward the tips. Mature plants produce elegant flower spikes bearing clusters of small white flowers that are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. The silvery foliage provides year-round interest and makes an impressive feature in drought-tolerant gardens, rockeries and dry landscape plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Sage is perhaps best known for its aromatic leaves, which have traditionally been dried and used as incense. Today it is widely cultivated for its ornamental beauty, fragrance and cultural significance. As a desert-adapted species, it thrives in dry conditions and requires excellent drainage to perform well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Sage can be challenging to grow from seed and naturally exhibits lower germination rates than many other sages. Patience and careful attention to drainage are often rewarded with long-lived, highly ornamental plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 130 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 15 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: April to June\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: August to October\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: August to November\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: September to November\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seed on the surface of a well-draining cactus or native seed-raising mix and cover only very lightly. Keep the mix just moist, avoiding overwatering. Germination can be slow and irregular. Once seedlings are established, transplant into a full sun position with sandy, free-draining soil. Space plants 1–1.5 m apart. White Sage is highly drought tolerant once established and performs best on slopes, rocky sites and other well-drained locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649648447706,"sku":null,"price":4.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/H_Sage_White_a9add569-b90d-4b4e-8d53-a517e511fd9a.jpg?v=1770861993","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/sage-white-2083","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
