Description

Best variety for pots and containers This lushly flowering sage with smaller leaves and stockier growth harmonizes well with cypress, lavender, hyssop, for example - without overwhelming the others with its size like the large sage species, which are perhaps better suited as a solitary plant. Good, fine aroma. Dwarf sage reaches a height of around 50 cm and is therefore ideal for small patios or balcony gardens. It goes well with low lavender, olive herb and thyme. The purple flowers appear in June and July.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

If you cut sage back a little in spring, you will ensure that new shoots grow vigorously. The aroma of the leaves is strongest shortly before flowering, so this is the best time for larger harvests, e.g. for drying. Individual leaves are harvested. Branches bent down form roots on contact with the ground. The rooted shoots can be cut off and planted. This makes it easy to propagate sage.
