- Soil requirements: White sage prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. It thrives in poor, rocky soils and does not require rich, fertile soil.
- Sunlight needs: White sage requires full sun to grow optimally. It needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: White sage is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent watering. Water the plants deeply but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant white sage seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. In warmer climates, it can also be planted in the fall.
- Depth and spacing: Plant white sage seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch (3 mm) and space them about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: White sage seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
- Maturity time: White sage plants usually reach maturity in about 90-120 days after planting. The leaves can be harvested once the plant is well-established and has a good amount of foliage.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest white sage is in the early morning when the essential oils are most concentrated. Avoid harvesting during the hottest part of the day.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the leaves and stems. Harvest no more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continued growth. After harvesting, dry the leaves in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Store dried sage in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
