Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Start 6–8 weeks ahead

1/4" deep, thin to one.

Drainage first

Wet winter soil kills sage.

Cut at first bloom

From year two, to 6" above the base.

Replace every 3–4 years

Old plants get woody.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 7–21 days at 18–21°C (65–70°F).

Starting indoors

Recommended. Start 6–8 weeks ahead of your last frost, 2–3 seeds per pot 1/4" deep, and thin to one. Plant out once the last frost has passed, 12" apart, with rows 18" apart.

Direct sowing

In spring, as early as the ground can be worked, sow 1/4" deep with a seed every 1–2". Thin to 6–12".

Plant spacing

12".

Soil

Most soils with good drainage and moderate nitrogen. Drainage matters most for winter survival.

Light

Full sun or part shade.

Harvest

In the first year, pick single leaves once plants are established. From the second year, cut stems back to about 6" above the base just as flowers start to open. Dry small bunches upside down somewhere airy and out of direct sun.

Care

Plants turn woody with age; replace them every 3–4 years.

Hardiness

Zones 4–8. Mulch in very cold areas.

Plant height

16–30".

Packet

200 seeds.
