When to start?

  • plant after the last frost.
  • 10 weeks before the last frost if starting indoors

Where to start and how to sow?

  • Start indoors: 10 weeks before the last frost date and barely cover the seeds, as they require light for germination.
  • Direct sow: plant sage seeds outdoors in a well-drained sunny spot after the last frost. Maintain even soil moisture until germination, which typically occurs within two to three weeks. After the second set of true leaves appear, and seedlings are about 4 inches high, they should be either transplanted to their final home or thinned if sown directly. Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.

How to keep happy?

  • Sage is best suited to well-drained, moderately fertile soil and full sun. However, this herb is fairly adaptable to other soil conditions and can tolerate partial shade, so it’s a versatile choice that can fill in empty spaces in the garden. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent option for low-maintenance or xeriscape gardens.

Keep soil on the dry side

Salvia plants excel in dry, even rocky, soil types, making them a suitable option for gardens with poor soil quality. They require minimal maintenance, but it's crucial to note that they won't thrive in overly wet or boggy conditions.
