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

Grow aromatic white sage at home with Survival Garden Seeds. Known for its silvery foliage and clean, resinous scent, white sage has been traditionally valued by many Native American communities and is widely used today for incense and cleansing practices. Its leaves release a strong, refreshing aroma when burned, helping to clear lingering odors and bring a sense of purity to indoor or outdoor spaces.

White sage is a hardy perennial that thrives in hot, dry, and sunny conditions. Once established, it grows into a striking plant with soft, pale leaves and tall flowering spikes that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its drought tolerance and distinctive appearance make it a standout choice for rock gardens, xeriscapes, and low-water herb gardens.

Aromatic, Hardy, and Naturally Attractive:

Produces highly fragrant leaves used for incense and cleansing rituals
Silvery foliage adds texture and color contrast to garden beds
Tall flower spikes draw bees and other pollinators
Thrives in dry, sandy, or rocky soils with full sun
Low-maintenance perennial ideal for arid climates and containers

Why Customers Love White Sage:

Strong, refreshing aroma for incense or home fragrance
Beautiful silvery leaves with a unique, sculptural look
Heat- and drought-tolerant once established
Supports pollinators and fits well into water-wise landscapes

How to Grow:

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow outdoors in warm climates
Provide full sun and very well-drained soil—sandy or rocky soil is ideal
Keep soil lightly moist for germination, then water sparingly
Allow ample spacing for airflow to prevent overly damp conditions
Plants become more drought tolerant as they mature and can be pruned lightly to maintain shape

Harvest & Use:
Gather leaves once the plant is well established, typically in its second year. Dry the leaves for incense bundles or use them in small amounts for fragrance projects. Always harvest responsibly to encourage healthy, long-lived plants.

Growing Instructions

Plant plenty of seeds to compensate for the low germination rate. Best started indoors in a seedling tray or small pots under full light. Lightly moisten soil only when it begins to dry out. Once established and soil has warmed, transplant hardened seedlings outdoors.
Seed Saving Instructions

Sage seeds are ready to harvest once flowers turn brown and seeds are dark. Clip flowers and hang upside down in a paper bag. Seeds will fall loose as they dry. Separate seeds, label and save in a dark dry space for up to 3 years.
