The USDA indicates that, as of October, 2010, the herb is discovered growing wild exclusively in eight counties located in the southern areas of California, with no distribution in the central or northern portion of the state. The backcountry of Riverside and San Diego (where we are located) Counties, as well as San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, are ideal locations to pick wild white sage. The plant can also be found in Baja California.

SOWING:
Requires full or partial sun, and good drainage
Transplant (recommended): Start seeds 8 weeks before the last frost. Sow 2-3 seeds, 1/4" deep into individual containers, thinning to one plant per cell after germination. Transplant outside in the spring, spacing the plants 12-18" apart, in rows 18" apart.
Direct seed: Sow in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant seeds 1/4" deep, 1 seed every 2-3". Thin to stand 12-18" apart.
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
7-14 days.
LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun. Tender perennial in Zones 6-9.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Will grow in most average to light, well-drained garden soils. Good drainage is essential for overwintering.
PLANT HEIGHT: 16-60". Fast growing, evergreen perennial to 5 feet tall
White flowers on 3 foot spike arch over silver white foliage,

HARVEST:
Individual leaves or branches can be harvested the first year once the plants have become established. In the second and subsequent years cut stems to within 6" of the base of the plant just as flowers are starting to open. Hang small bunches of white sage upside down to dry in a well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
Planting Directions: Sow seed in well drained seed starting mix with soil temperature of 70-80?. Plant seed about ¼? deep and keep planting medium barely moist until germination occurs usually in 7-21 days. Transplant when plants produce the third set of leaves and soil temperature is at least 65?. Place plants 15? apart. Grow in full to near full sun. If your soil is acid, work in ¼ cup of lime into the planting hole.
Note:
A favorite nectar plant for bees. In areas where the temperature regularly falls below 10°F (-12°C), cut back and mulch the plants heavily in late fall or dig up, pot, and bring the plants inside to overwinter.
Once established, white sage can be propagated by making softwood cuttings in spring or early summer.
