Growing Tips
-
Starting seeds: Sow seeds on the surface of well-draining soil and press lightly - do not bury deeply. White Sage needs light to germinate.
-
Temperature: Germination is most reliable at 65-75 degrees F. Use a heat mat indoors if needed.
-
Watering: Keep soil lightly moist during germination. Once seedlings are established, water sparingly - White Sage prefers dry conditions.
-
Light: Requires full sun, at least 6-8 hours per day outdoors. Indoors, place in the brightest available window or supplement with a grow light.
-
Soil: Sandy or loamy, fast-draining soil with a slightly alkaline to neutral pH works best. Avoid heavy clay or consistently wet soil.
-
Maturity: White Sage is slow-growing. Expect 1-2 years before plants are ready for significant harvest.
