What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow beautifully aromatic clary sage at home with Survival Garden Seeds. This Mediterranean herb produces soft gray-green foliage and tall spikes of white, pink, or lilac tubular flowers. Known for thriving in rocky, sandy, or low-fertility soils, clary sage performs reliably in full to partial sun and brings both ornamental value and herbal usefulness to the garden.

Clary sage is valued in traditional herbal practices for its soothing properties and naturally fragrant essential oils. Its leaves and flowers are commonly used in teas, salves, infusions, and home distillation projects. Beyond its herbal benefits, clary sage flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, helping support a vibrant and biodiverse garden environment.

Aromatic, Ornamental, and Highly Useful:

  • Gray-green leaves and colorful blooms add texture and height to garden beds
  • Naturally aromatic foliage is appreciated for its clean, herbal scent
  • Traditionally used for women’s wellness, stress relief, skin care, and digestive support
  • Suitable for teas, infusions, and essential oil distillation
  • Repels certain garden pests while attracting pollinators and beneficial insects

Why Customers Love Clary Sage:

  • A hardy herb that thrives in poor or rocky soil
  • Beautiful, pollinator-friendly flowers with strong visual impact
  • Highly aromatic foliage ideal for herbal projects
  • Performs well in outdoor garden beds with minimal care

How to Grow:

  • Sow seeds in early spring after frost danger has passed or start indoors 6–8 weeks before transplanting
  • Provide full to partial sun and well-drained soil, including rocky or sandy areas
  • Keep soil lightly moist during germination
  • Thin or transplant seedlings to allow good airflow as plants mature
  • Clary sage typically flowers in its second year, producing tall, colorful spikes that can be harvested for use or left to support pollinators

Harvest & Use:
Pick leaves and flowers when fully developed and dry them for teas or herbal preparations. For aromatic projects or essential oil use, harvest flowering stalks at peak bloom.
