White Sage - Salvia Apiana - In N. California?
It grows in Southern California in dry coastal scrub. No water in summer
for 4-6 months. I don't know if it would do well in the wet northwest. Spectacular plant with incredible fragrance. Used by local indians in religious ceremonies from what I understand. Mine top off at about 8 feet when in bloom. The plant itself stays around 3-4 feet. I have never had a person fail to comment on the fragrance once they brushed past one of these beautiful silver plants. |

Most are hardy and will grow well throughout South Carolina. White Sage (Salvia apiana): This small evergreen sage has white wooly leaves and clusters of white flowers often spotted with lavender. It needs full sun and well-drained soil. maybe it does poorly in wet winter clay? |
