(Sacred White Sage) Woody perennial native to California. White sage prefers sandy soil in the full sun. Probably the most popular of all plants for smudging, the leaves dry down almost white and burn with an intense smoke. Plants grow quickly during the summer and may be trimmed back in the fall, after flowering is complete. White sage loves a dry, sunny exposure. Plant 2 to 3 feet apart. Rosette usually grows to 2 or 3 feet tall, and flowering spikes may reach 6 feet. Cut back in fall.

Hi! I ordered 1 white sage plant from you. I’m in zone 5. Would it be best to start with a small pot or put it in the pot I have reserved for it? Thank you in advance..susan

hi susan, this was left on the “9 inch pot” item so if this is the one you got, then it is over a year old and already woody. you would want to depot, spread the roots out, and transplant it to a wide, narrow pot and let the roots go down into the dirt below the pot if possible. if you are getting one of the small plants, then yes, plant it to a gallon pot to start and then move up from there. i plant white sage in 16 inch by 16 inch by 5 inches deep slatted flats and let the roots go down into the river rock on the floor of the greenhouse. they are very, very happy that way r

What would you suggest as a companion plant for White Sage? As Mullein seems to like similar soils, could I interplant them?

Hi Lorie,
By the time we ship them out in the spring, they will be in their second year. Basically, any time we make a large planting of white sage seeds, there are a few individuals produced that are larger and faster growing than the rest. These are the ones we put to 9 inch pots. Richo

Question
Alix Marmulstein –
I have acquired a white sage plant from a previous tenant (who planted it in the “greenhouse” raised bed off the original Williams schoolhouse art shed) and I’m wondering if I can grow a new plant from seed/cutting as I’ve cared for it the last 4 years and most likely cannot transplant it– estimated 8+ years old. Thank you <3 Oh, and thanks for all the Symphytum uplandicum!

Hi Alix,
To get right to your question, the white sage may be readily grown from seed and our new harvest seed is in stock right now. The white sage does not work from cuttings, it must be seed-grown.
