Hi friends!
I spent a major portion of my childhood traveling between Portland and CA, so I have a soft spot for some CA native plants like poppies, "lupine" (actually Texas Bluebonnets but don't tell them that in SLO County!), and sage. I recently found a little baby white sage plant at a nursery here and got so excited I brought it home without thinking.
Has anyone actually had luck growing this plant outdoors here? Google says it should be hardy here in zone 8b but might die back in winter and I'd have to hope it self-seeded, but I'd rather hear from someone who's tried it. I planned to pot it in the largest terracotta I could find, set it out in the hottest west-facing area of my back patio, then try to bring it indoors with some extra lights through winter. Not sure what kind of soil mix I'd use, though, since it's happiest in a desert.
Any input appreciated
