Sage
Growing Sage
Sage is a classic culinary herb prized for its broad green leaves, savory fragrance, and rich earthy flavor. The aromatic foliage can be used fresh or dried and pairs especially well with hearty meats, cheeses, and traditional comfort-food recipes.
Start Sage indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about β inch deep and space plants about 24 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat- and drought-tolerant herb is also well suited to containers.
Ready to begin harvesting in about 85 days, cut leaves or stems as needed once plants are established and dry any excess for later use.
Savory, aromatic, and versatile, Sage is excellent with pork, lamb, poultry, sausage, cheese, stuffing, and dried seasoning blends.
