🌞 How to Grow
-

-
Transplant: Once seedlings are 3–4 inches tall and hardened off, transplant into well-drained soil or pots.
💧 Care Tips
-
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Sage prefers dry roots over soggy ones.
-
Feeding: A light compost top-up in spring is usually enough.
-
Pruning: Trim back after flowering to encourage bushy regrowth and prevent woody stems.
-
Container Growing: Thrives in pots with good drainage — ideal for patios and windowsills.
🌼 Growing Sustainably
-
Pollinator Friendly: Beautiful purple-blue flowers attract bees and butterflies.
-
Drought Tolerant: Once established, sage needs little watering — perfect for water-wise gardens.
-
Long-Lived: One plant can provide flavour and habitat for years with minimal input.
✂️ Harvesting
-
Begin light harvesting once plants are established.
-
Pick young, tender leaves for the best flavour.
-
Regular picking promotes fuller plants and delays flowering.
Tip: Dry leaves by hanging small bunches upside down in a cool, dark place — store in an airtight jar.
❄️ Overwintering
-
Hardy in most UK regions, especially when established.
-
Mulch around the base in cold winters.
-
Trim woody growth in spring to revive shape and vigour.
