Salvia apiana

Bring home a piece of California's spiritual heritage! White sage is the sacred plant of indigenous peoples, prized for its beautiful silvery foliage and incredible fragrance. This is authentic California at its finest.

The stunning white flower spikes emerge in late spring, creating dramatic displays that tower above the aromatic, silver-gray leaves. Every part of this plant is incredibly fragrant and beautiful.

This drought-loving native is perfect for naturalized areas, meditation gardens, or anywhere you want authentic California beauty. It's extremely low maintenance once established and provides important habitat for native wildlife. Sacred beauty meets garden toughness!
