Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) Sage is a beloved perennial herb, prized for adding depth and complexity to sauces, meats, eggs, and a variety of savoury dishes. A classic ingredient in many holiday recipes, it is also an attractive addition to the garden. Sage flowers are purple-lavender and highly appealing to pollinators, including hummingbirds, which are drawn to the blooms. This easy to grow herb regrows fresh leaves after cutting, ensuring a plentiful supply for your spice jars.

Planting Instruction: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Sow 1/8 inch deep and keep soil moist, taking care not to overwater. Thin or transplant seedlings to 18 inches apart. In spring, trim established plants back by 20–30% to encourage new growth, and trim again after flowering. Seeds can also be sown outdoors in late fall to enhance spring germination.
