Sage

Sage can be grown in the mild weather of spring or fall, and seeds can be planted on the average date of the last spring frost or indoors 6 to 8 weeks before. The planting site must have well-draining soil and receive lots of sunlight.1 Annual and biennial sages can be grown from seed, while perennial sages are best grown from young plants.2 Sage grows well in prepared garden beds or pots and requires full sun. They can tolerate partial shade but need well-drained soil to thrive. Dig in plenty of organic garden compost or well-aged chicken manure prior to planting.0 Many sages do well in pots. Harvest the leaves as and when needed and trim back perennial types after flowering.
