This is one of the rare sages of Israel, growing mainly in the north part of the country. We peopagate it succesfully at the Jerusalem Botanical Garden. The seeds germinate and produce a small leaf rosette and bloom at the second year. The inflorescence is up to 1.5 m. tall and the flower colour is unique (as you can see in the pic).
