White sage is the one used for burning as smudge sticks (is that what they're called?) to purify the air/area isn't it? I'm sorry I don't have one, but now I'm curious as to what they're like.
I grew 3 kinds of sage from seeds for the first time early this spring, and found them really easy to grow with good supplemental light. Hmm... I wonder where you can get some seeds...

I'll have to check out Johnny's. I also found some info at one of my favorite herb seed sources: https://www.horizonherbs.com/pilot.asp?pg=white_sage
But the description and comments at my other favorite source is interesting too (scroll down to Grandfather White or Salvia apiana):

So, Silent Bear, which one are you looking for, Salvia apiana or Artemesia ludoviciana?

It is indigenous to the desert regions of California, so it grows well here in South Australia. I grow it in a hot, dry garden bed that receives one deep watering every one its not possible to grow white saga for commercially.Silent Bear wrote:Hello everyone I am new on here and new to gardening, I currently have various herbs that I just planted and are currently germinating, including burdock,yellow dock, feverfew, mint,yarrow,ashwagandha and sacred tobacco , I am very happy to be starting my own herb garden for healing and ceremonial purposes, I was interested in planting white sage for ceremonial purposes does anyone have any clippings or plants they would like to sell or donate, thanks

Instead of starting a new topic, I will borrow this thread, hope you don't mind!
What sort of soil have people used with growing white sage indoors? Peat compost was recommended by the person who sold me the seeds, but after a short googling it appears peat compost isn't a very environment friendly option so now looking for other ideas. Cactus soil was suggested on another site, any experience on that?
