White Sage holds a rich cultural legacy, with significance rooted in Native American traditions. Presently, its ornamental appeal graces gardens, offering antimicrobial, antioxidant, and potential pain-relief properties. Its culinary potential shines too, seasoning meats, stews, and more.
How to Grow White Sage
This sage is a small evergreen shrub native to the Southwest, particularly California. It grows as a perennial plant in hardiness zones 8 through 11 but can also grow as an indoor plant or kitchen herb in cooler zones. When growing this herb indoors, be sure to give it plenty of light.
White Sage thrives in heat, light, and well-draining soil—characteristics that reflect its desert origins. Once established, this slow-growing herb requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent addition to any garden.
