my mom grows it and I think she transplants it. I don't think it's very hard to grow though! i'll ask her when she gets home and give you more details on it though!
Breathing in I feel gratitude; Breathing out I give thanks.
Breathing in I feel joyful; Breathing out I celebrate.
Breathing in I know compassion; Breathing I am compassion.
Breathing in I feel loved; Breathing out I offer love.
Breathing in I am still; Breathing out I am at peace.
Om.

Originally I found it potted as a perennial at the neighborhood gardening store, I am in zone 3 and have found it is hearty enough to overwinter here. Since this time, I have grown more of it from seed and from separating the plants, as you can well imagine my shaman/witchy friends all want some in their garden too.
I find it has the cleanest smoke for smudging, makes beautiful smudge wands and doesn't bother my allergies or asthma. Peace!

Good point! The seeds I have used are from the plants in my garden.....I have a huge old washbucket that I place cut bunches of sage in to dry up abit before making wands. The bottom of this washbucket gets full of the seeds. In other words, when I have planted by seeds, I have used an excess of seed cause I have an excess of seed!

So it sounds like you've got the details on it.
But, my mom tells me it's not hard to grow and she get's it from her friend & just transplants it.
& Also I forgot one of my most favorite herbs! Usnea. Amazing stuff(:

Oooh, I love wearing and drinking peppermint... I love Cooking with and eating basil, and I burn sage daily to cleanse myself and sometimes the house.

Ginger, sage, cloves and mugwort. I would love to plant white sage but I heard it's very hard to grow.

Lavender. By far.
I also use a lot of vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, chili, nettle, witch hazel, chamomile, angelica and St. John's Wort, as well.
