GRAPE SCENTED SAGE, TARAHUMARIA INDIAN SAGE
PLANT
- Unit price
- / per
Salvia melissodora (Grape-scented sage) is a woody perennial shrub. The leaves and seeds are used medicinally by the Tarahumara of Mexico, and are thought to contain the same psychotropic compound found in diviners sage (S. divinorum). Foliage is pleasantly aromatic, and the large lavender flowers possess a remarkable grape scent (seemingly identical to the concord grapes we recently ravested!)! Blooms all season, from late spring until frost. The flowers are full of nectar, and are a perpetual magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
Type: Perennial
Hardiness zones: 8-11
Height: 48-60", 120-150cm
Location: Sun
Size: Varies throughout the season
Size: Rooted 2" plug
These plants will likely be shipped late May, and shipped together with any other plants that you may order.
Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. Keep continuously moist. Temperature 20-22 C, 68-72 F. Germinates in 10-30 days.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants may be poisonous.
