Salvia apiana


Salvia apiana, more commonly known as White Sage, is a hardy evergreen perennial shrub native to the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico. This resilient plant thrives from late April to June, and its aromatic leaves can be harvested in summer or fall when the white-leaved rosettes are at their peak.

Easy to grow and care for, White Sage is one of the many herbs offered by The Growers Exchange. Read on to learn more about this incredible plant, and place your order through our online store.


What Is White Sage?

White Sage, also known as Bee Sage for its unique ability to attract pollinators, is a popular desert native plant, valued for its highly aromatic foliage and significant cultural history. When bruised, the leaves release a strong sage fragrance, and the dried leaves are traditionally used as incense in Native American ceremonies.


White Sage Appearance and Characteristics

White Sage produces stunning white flower spikes in the spring with tiny lavender spots, sometimes reaching up to 6 feet tall. Each spike can hold up to 100 blossoms and is favored by hummingbirds, carpenter bees, and bumblebees. White Sage also makes a beautiful addition to water-wise gardens and is especially striking under moonlight or night lighting.


White Sage Origins and History

Originating from the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico, White Sage is a sacred herb, particularly important to the Chumash, a Native American tribe. Called "Wey’Wey," its leaves are traditionally burned in ceremonies to cleanse the spirit, calm the senses, and invite divine healing during prayer.



White Sage Plant Care: Growing Tips

White Sage isn’t the easiest sage to grow, but here’s a short guide to help you get started:

Sunlight

White Sage requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. It thrives in full sun, especially in hot, dry climates.

Soil

Good drainage is essential for White Sage. Use a sandy, rocky mix to prevent waterlogging. For potted plants, mix one-third sand into the soil to promote drainage and keep the roots healthy.

Watering

White Sage loves dry conditions. Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Let it dry out between waterings, though never allow it to become completely dry.

Temperature

White Sage thrives in heat but can’t handle frost. Its sweet spot is a daytime temperature of 70°F to 85°F. In cooler climates, grow it in a container that can be moved indoors during colder months.

Potting

If you're growing White Sage in a container, choose one at least one-third larger than the plant’s root ball. Over time, you’ll need a wide pot (at least 25 liters) to give it room to grow. Add a drainage layer of small stones or clay shards at the bottom to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing

Apply a liquid fertilizer for potted plants every two months during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can affect the plant's aromatic qualities.

Pruning

Prune in early spring to encourage bushy growth. Prune again after the first flowering to promote a second bloom, and give it a final light trim in mid-August.


Uses and Benefits of White Sage

Truly a plant of all trades, White Sage has been cherished for its diverse uses. Here’s how you can make the most of this herb:

  • Ceremonial Uses: White Sage has been used for centuries in purification rituals. Native Americans burn the dried leaves as incense or in smudging sticks. Its aromatic smoke is thought to purify areas, objects, and people of evil spirits and negative energy.

  • Aromatherapy: The soothing scent of White Sage is widely used in aromatherapy to clear the mind, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Its natural compounds, including eucalyptol, offer a minty, cooling effect that sharpens mental clarity.

  • Nutritional and Medicinal Value: White Sage is rich in essential oils with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Traditionally, it has been brewed into teas to soothe stomach discomfort and sore throats. The leaves can also be crushed as a topical ointment on skin irritations or chewed to provide hydration and freshen breath.


How to Make a White Sage Cleansing Stick

One of the most beloved uses of White Sage is making your cleaning stick for purification and rituals. Be sure to use White Sage or another safe herb, as some plants can be toxic or may not burn well. 

Here’s how you can easily make one at home: 

  1. Harvesting: On a dry, sunny morning, gather large, healthy leaves. Try to pick similarly sized leaves for a nice, even bundle. The bigger the leaves, the better!

  2. Bundling: Gather the leaves in a tight bundle. Tie a sturdy knot around the base, leaving a long tail of string for later.

  3. Wrapping: Use a natural twine like an embroidery thread, which burns easily. Wrap the bundle from the bottom to the top and back down in a zig-zag pattern.

  4. Finishing: Wind the string around the top of the bundle and leave another long “tail” at the opposite end. Tie the two tails together to create a handle.

  5. Drying: Hang your cleansing stick in a dry, dark space until it’s fully dried and ready to use.

Fantastic book! Great introduction to some of the current misunderstandings about the Bible.
Format: Kindle
As a believer, I have wrestled with the issue of why I trust the Bible to be God’s defining word. After all, simply saying that I have faith in God and Jesus and therefore the Bible must be true creates an ever-tightening inward spiral based on nothing more than a belief that it’s true. Probably not the best standard to be waiving. Why I Trust The Bible by Dr. William Mounce answers not only this question, but also whether or not Jesus was real and why the different Bible translations are so different. We live in an age where we are bombarded with half-truths and deceptions by purported experts whose only requirement is to have a YouTube page. The Bible is no more immune from these barrages of untested and ill-researched ideas than is science or politics, but the stakes are higher. While many refute the authenticity and truthfulness of the Bible, one name stands out among the rest: Bart Ehrman. He seems to be very good at nuancing just the right word to cause a reaction in support of his unfounded claims. Fortunately Dr. Mounce is superb at refuting the often-ridiculous claims as well as correcting minor misunderstandings. What I especially liked about Why I Trust The Bible was the way Dr. Mounce not only disproved the inaccuracies touted by Ehrman, but revealed the underlying false premises and sensationalist comments that Ehrman uses. Dr. Mounce’s corrective approach was very helpful. Why I Trust The Bible easily counters the common claims and misrepresentations against the Bible’s inspiration. If you want to understand the background of how and why our Bible is accurate, real, truthful, and God’s inspired word, this resource is for you. Dr. Mounce systematically addresses key issues originating from contradictory arguments presented by unbelievers while at the same time answers questions many believers have about their Bible. I especially appreciated the way Dr. Mounce included enough material for each section so that I was able to understand the issue without feeling overburdened. It is an enjoyable read: comprehensive and coherent. This book opens by evaluating the reality of Jesus, then moves to dismantle common criticisms against the Bible, examines the processes and decisions necessary when translating from the original languages into English, and finishes by addressing some of the perceived claims against the nature of God. While these issues tend to be technical, Dr. Mounce expertly navigates the waters to keep the reader engaged as he addresses the Bible’s history, fundamentals of textual criticism, and interpretative and translation principles. Whether you begin this book with a blank slate in these areas or already understand these issues, the book will fill the gaps. Too often people confuse their faith in the Bible with how faith (in any proposition) reinforces beliefs and closes one’s mind to other possibilities. Much of what we believe is actually an outgrowth from our paradigms. Dr. Mounce points out that we all have faith-beliefs. For example, if I believe God is able to alter the laws of nature to perform a miracle, then that is my faith-belief. But if I believe there is no God or that miracles cannot happen, then that is also my faith belief. We each assess everything by our paradigms. Although we live in a world that seeks to accept every idea as a relative truth, only one of these propositions can be correct; in the case of miracles, they can either happen or they cannot. One thing that stood out was the tendency for the non-believers to try to make the believer prove them wrong. Dr. Mounce flips the script and places the onus on the non-believer to prove that miracles can happen. He can do that because through his systematic approach to answer the critical questions about the Bible, he shows that it is not a work of fiction and that the events in the Bible were not late additions or were not the result of conspiracies perpetrated by a cabal of nefarious theologians of the past. His book documents the veracity and reliability of the Bible that we now have, and while we may not have the first-edition autographed copy, we are confident we have what the original authors wrote. There are some who attempt to use the faith-belief premise as an argument against the truthfulness and accuracy or our Bible, but that is the wrong approach because it does not accurately represent the stalemate that exists between believers and non-believers. The problem is much deeper and is more centered on the belief that just because we don’t have the original documents, and that because there are too many discrepancies in the Bible itself, that it is untrustworthy. These are unfounded or inaccurate statements which are not backed by any facts, but are simply distortions, untested by any historic or scientific means. Why I Trust The Bible breaks through the unfounded arguments against authenticity by providing the documentation and proof that it is real, that what it says happened actually did happen, and that those who so diligently protected the text for us through the many generations did so with the utmost respect for God and his word. Yes there are what appear on the surface to be discrepancies. Yes there are variants between the 5,600 plus manuscripts (less than 1/10 of 1 percent even warrant further research). But Dr. Mounce shows how it is not the number of textual differences that matter, but whether or not the differences are significant in any way that they alter the basic understanding of God, Jesus, or salvation. He guides the reader in understanding that although there seems to be a lot of discrepancies, only a small number are viable; they do not alter any truth in the Bible. He proves that, “there is not a single viable variant that calls into question any point of biblical theology, major or minor.” This book is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to understand how we got our Bible, why we can trust it to be true, that it is the faithful word of God, and how Bible translators struggle with real issues relevant to helping us understand what God said. I have many of the resources listed in the footnotes of this book and have studied these issues in the past, but as in most books I read, I discover new insights and information. This book is not just for the person beginning this study, but is applicable for even those who have studied these concepts. If you don’t have the foundation necessary to believe that the Bible we now have “is the very words of God” or want to learn more about the processes involved in interpreting words and phrases and the various theories of Bible translation, then this is the book for you.

It's Great, but Maybe a Little More on the Topic than Some Might be Ready For
Format: Paperback
Dr. William Mounce's new book, "Why I Trust the Bible: Answers to Real Questions and Doubts People Have About the Bible," is a bit different than his typical work. This book is not specific to learning biblical Greek. Instead, it's a series of arguments for the reliability of the Bible with a much broader audience in mind. Mounce addresses this historicity of Jesus, contradictions in the Bible, how we have the biblical canon, issues of textual criticism, aspect of translation, and how the Old Testament supports our trust in the Bible more than you might think. "Why I Trust the Bible" is an accessible introduction to a selection of apologetic matters but goes deeper and beyond an introduction. For one seeking to explore these topics--for the first time or deeper study--Mounce does an outstanding job with each of these arguments. Each chapter (corresponding to a question) is well-argued and contains an excellent bibliography of references. Even without any theological knowledge, the book is easy to read, and it stands upon excellent theological study and solid academic work. While I highly recommend "Why I Trust the Bible," I found the scope of the "questions" and "doubts" limited. As a pastor, there are many questions about the historical Jesus, contradictions, how we got the revelation of God, and issues of translations. Sure. But they often come as more of an attempt to reject the Bible. Mounce's answers are excellent but address the reality of the situation rather than the questioner's heart. It's not something I'd expect to find someone with doubts and totally new to the Bible would pick up this book. Therefore, this book is better suited for the person who handles the questions and doubts of others. It provides the foundation and information to the pastor, Sunday school, teacher, friend, or family member in doubt. "Why I Trust the Bible" is also a helpful book for the seminary student, budding apologists, and preachers of God's Word. The chapters on textual criticism supply a fantastic framework (complete with charts and history). As we would expect from Bill Mounce, these chapters are a resource every pastor should have on his shelf, ready for when the tough challenges come. I found the book good and helpful and I have a Doctorate of Ministry and more than a decade of pastoral ministry under my belt. My twelve-year-old son is reading the book and also finding it in formative and helpful (although he also thumbs through my commentaries). My point: there's a little for everyone.

An excellent, if brief introductory survey of the defense of the reliability of Scripture!
Format: Kindle
“How can you trust the Bible? Didn’t you know there are 400,000 disagreements between all the different copies of the New Testament alone, while there are only 110,000 words in it?” “The Bible contradicts itself, so it can’t be the Word of God.” “Church leaders picked and chose what went into the Bible, leaving out books and letters they didn’t agree with, so how can you trust what it teaches?” “Even the different versions of the Bible disagree with one another, so how can it be reliable?” “Jesus is more myth than historical figure, cobbled together from a bunch of ancient sources and religions. He’s made up, so can’t be a real savior.” Skeptical claims like these, and plenty others, are leveled against the Bible ALL. THE. TIME. On social media, in popular media, and in documentaries purporting to give the straight dope about the history surrounding the Word of God. We should not be surprised. After all, the enemies of God hate Him, and hate His Word. However, many Christians lack the ability to refute these claims. Many of us merely shout “nuh uh,” all the while wondering if there really are answers to these claims. There are answers to these claims, Christian. There is an entire field of study, namely apologetics, which provides a defense of the faith. “Why I Trust the Bible” is a one-stop-shop of introductions to several topics which comprise much of the field of apologetics these days: - The Historical Jesus - Contradictions in the Bible - How We Got the Canon (list of books in the Bible) - Textual Criticism (making sense of textual discrepancies or variants) - How Translation Happens - The Supposed Contradiction of the Old Testament In “Why I Trust the Bible” Dr. Mounce, renowned Greek language scholar, explains why he trusts the Bible, and why you should too. As a layperson who has done a lot of study in these areas, I found the this book a great introductory survey of these topics, with a great set of footnotes and bibliography for further reading. Most skeptics tossing out the objections covered are merely repeating talking points, and this book will be more than enough to equip you to answer them. “Why I Trust the Bible” is a great introduction to all of these subjects and can provide a great foundation for further study into any and all of them. If you have studied any of these subjects in greater depth, you may find Mounce’s treatment of them entirely too brief, but for someone who is new to apologetics and specifically the reliability of the Bible, this book is an excellent choice!

Using this one for a special study in our church.
Format: Paperback
This is a very scholarly book, but the author seeks to simplify it a bit for the reader. This book is written to respond to Biblical skeptics and answers many of the challenges those folks have for skeptics. Very well researched and very well written.

A Pleasure To Read
Format: Kindle
Academic books are known to be dry and poorly written, with semantics used that inadvertently confuse the reader; not with this book. Mounce displays that not only does he really know his “stuff” as a scholar, but how to make the read enjoyable to the laity. I recall reading the notorious bible skeptic’s book, “Misquoting Jesus” by Bart Ehrman a number of years back and even though as a Christian who loves the Bible I couldn’t help but notice how well and enjoyable he made the book. Both Mounce and Ehrman are in the same field and understand as textual critics how to communicate to people in an manner to the lay person. I sought out this book with the understanding of how we can trust the canon and got a lot more than I thought! While, I will admit, a lot of trusting that the 27 books of the New Testament (and the Old Testament) are what they are supposed to be is a matter of trusting God in his sovereignty. He laid great groundwork for why the early church believed them and what their criterion was to accept a book as “scripture”. He also brought some important distinctions int eh church’s infancy that there was a functional canon and exclusive canon; that being from scholar Michael Kruger that he referenced. I found the section on translations very useful as it brought a balanced perspective on what it means not just translate but how to treat the text properly. One of his examples with a big criticism on the term “reading the Bible literally” when translated from one language (Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) to another (English, etc.). We develop much of our words in translation not just by individuals words that can mean a lot of different things, but with its surrounding context. I won’t spend too much time but there were a vast amount of other important topics, like the historical Jesus, Old Testament as well as the problem of evil and other things that where quite useful to, but for me and the importance of canon is why I sought on this book. Now I am still on the journey of studying more about why this canon but a lot more clearly has come and I trust the Lord in his sovereignty in that we have preserved God’s holy books. This is a must read for any Christian apologist or just anyone who is looking to understand the Bible better.
