Description
Sage is a small, expansive shrub from the labiates family. The conditionally hardy plant forms deep roots and prefers a very sunny location with well-drained, rather dry soil.
Origin:
Mediterranean region
Growing tips
If you cut back sage a little in the spring, you ensure a vital new sprout. The aroma of the leaves is strongest just before flowering, so this is the best time for larger harvests, e.g. for drying. Individual leaves are harvested. Down-bent branches form roots when they come in contact with the ground. The rooted shoots can be cut off and planted. This is an easy way to propagate the sage.
