White Sage 10cm

White Sage - Salvia apiana 

An attractive large shrub with silvery grey foliage and pale flowers that is suited to very dry, well drained areas.

Flavours well with other strong herbs like rosemary, oregano and common sage. Can be used to add flavour to stuffing and other cooked meals. Seeds can be ground to produce a powder which can then be made into a paste and used as a batter, bread or porridge. 

Can be added at any stage in the cooking and it can also be used in teas, cool drinks as a healing tonic. Widely used by Native American and Native Mexican tribes in their natural medicine, religious ceremonies and as a cleansing smoke when made into a smudge stick. 

Requires a well-drained location in full sun. Looks good in any succulent, desert or xeriscape garden, especially in warm coastal regions. 

Cut back any old or dead foliage and apply the recommended dose of Seasol and Powerfeed regularly in summer and early autumn.
