With the sweet and spicy aroma of grapefruit and pine, clary sage brightens our day with its scent as well as with its spikes of white and purple flowers. This biennial starts out the first year as a basal rosette, and then blooms up to four feet tall in the second year.

Several farmers in the Willamette Valley cultivate clary sage to harvest the essential oil. Skip the tractors and the bottling facility! Grow this wonderful herb right at home.
