Jerusalem Sage Tubers

NOTE: These are tubers, not seeds. Phlomoides tuberosa Origin: Eurasia Improvement status: Unknown Tubers per order: 5 BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED Life cycle: Perennial Tuberous Jerusalem Sage, also called "sage-leaf mullein", is a lovely Eurasian perennial vegetable with highly textured leaves and tall racemes featuring lavender-colored flowers bursting out of round whorls clustered along the stalk. It flowers continuously as the stalks grow, thus the large mint-like flowers persist for a long time and attract many insects. The plant reaches waist-height and spreads its branches to a width of two and half feet or more. Underground, it produces dense clusters of chickpea to golf-ball-sized tubers which are extremely easy to harvest. Starting in the fall of their second year, they can yield nearly as much as potatoes. To harvest, simply just use a shovel to lift up and tip over the plant and then pluck the tubers like grabbing eggs out of a nest. You can then tip the plan
