CLARY SAGE, biennial, medicinal herb, , 50 SEEDS,
Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) Biennial. Zones 5-8. This is one of the herbs that the herbalist Culpepper wrote of. The seeds become musilagenous when in contact with water and it was said one could remove foreign objects from the eye with this seed. Hence the name clary or clear eye. As a biennial, it forms a low to the ground rosette the first year and then sends up a spike of blue or pink flowers. It flowers in early summer and will self seed. It grows to about 5' tall so is good at the back of the border. It needs full sun, good soil, well drained, and water when it is dry. It can tolerate dry conditions but it prefers moisture. It can not tolerate wet feet.
