Discover the natural beauty of Salvia apiana, also known as white sage, bee sage, or sacred sage. This evergreen perennial shrub is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, where it thrives in well-drained dry soil and full sun. Its foliage releases a strong aroma when rubbed, making it a popular choice for smudging and purification rituals in Native American and modern spiritual practices alike. The plant blooms with attractive white to pale lavender flowers in the spring, which are pollinated by bees, bumblebees, hawk moths, and hummingbirds. Cultivate this stunning plant in your garden and attract an abundance of wildlife.
