Sage, Judean / Candlestick Sage
(Salvia judaica) S155
Perennial 3' Full Sun Tender/Evergreen Purple O $45.00

This in one of the rarest, and most significant sages in the world! Judean sage, as documented in Moldenke's Plants of the Bible, is the sage after which the traditional Jewish symbol of the menorah was patterned. The plant's inflorescence, when pressed flat, has almost the exact shape and form of the seven-branched candlestick of the Temple. With great effort we were able to acquire only 12 seeds from Israel, and have painstakingly propagated this plant over the last few years to produce a limited quantity of plants available this year. To our knowledge, Lingle's is the only nursery offering this plant in America.
