Sage seeds for the kitchen herb garden, the windowsill, or the general project of improving things. Blue Sage produces all summer with minimal intervention, which is either admirable self-sufficiency or a relief.

Sage is blue sage -- drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, and reliable from early summer until frost. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.

How to Grow Sage from Seed

Sowing and Germination

Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost or direct sow in early spring.

Care and Harvest

Blue Sage -- drought tolerant, attracts pollinators, long-blooming perennial.

Why Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.

About the Packaging

Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
