Sage, Judean (Salvia judaika), packet of 20 seeds

Family:  Mint (Lamiaceae)

Zones 7 to 12

(Judean Sage) Woody perennial native to the Middle East, growing to 3 feet tall.  Works well in pots, in which case, bring them in for the winter!  Violet flowers and bracts in whorls, resembling the seven-branched candlestick, the menorah, as described in EXODUS.  A rare, fragrant and exceptionally beautiful plant.  Plant prefers full sun and fast-draining soil.  Sow in spring.  Lightly scarify, then barely cover seed and press in firmly, keeping warm, evenly moist and in the light until germination, which under ideal conditions is rapid.  Prick seedlings to larger pots and grow until sufficiently sized to withstand the rigors of transplanting to the landscape.  Space plants 2 feet apart.
