Sage Seeds

About- Sage is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean. Growing up to 2-3' in height, with woody stems and gray-green velvety leaves. Sage is highly regarded for its ability to enhance the flavors of various dishes. Use the leaves fresh or dried with meats, in stuffing, sauces, or in herbal teas.  When and Where to Plant- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Sprinkle seeds evenly and barely cover with soil. Mist with a spray bottle to keep the soil damp. Transplant to a full sun, well-draining location in late Spring.  Care and Harvest- In the first year, harvest by pinching off individual leaves and be mindful of your harvest until the plant is fully established.
