Salvia apiana
Sacred white sage, fragrant leaves
Make your own smudge-sticks rather than buying them from folks who cut and destroy these plants in the wild. Arresting silvery white lance-shaped leaves are held stiffly on 2'x5' base branchy stems. The 3' flower spikes with white flowers appear in Spring. Bees adore the small whitish blooms. You should prune the flower spikes after bloom to encourage compactness. Heat and drought loving, it really doesn't want much Summer water. Good drainage is a must. Many medicinal and sacred uses. A tea made from the leaves is an herbal remedy for cold and congestion. To 4'x2'. Good drainage.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
