Grow a sacred and historic herb of the American West with our Yerba Santa seeds. This amazing native shrub, whose name means "sacred herb" in Spanish, has been revered for centuries in Native American traditional medicine. The plant is prized for its aromatic, resinous, dark green leaves that have a sweet, balsamic scent. In the spring, it produces beautiful clusters of tubular, lavender-purple flowers that are a favorite of bees and other native pollinators. A very tough and drought-tolerant plant, it's a perfect choice for a xeriscape or native garden.

🌱 Growing instructions
- Sowing: This is a "fire-follower" species with unique germination needs. For best results, start seeds indoors at any time after preparation.
- Heat Treatment: To mimic a fire, carefully place seeds on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 190°F for exactly 5 minutes.
- Soaking: After the heat treatment, soak the cooled seeds in water for 24 hours.
- Depth: Press seeds into the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Do not cover.
- Germination: Keep soil warm and moist. Germination is slow, taking 17-60 days.
