A must-have herb for pork, lamb, and poultry and stuffing. Grows best from cuttings or divisions. Plant in full sun in compost-rich soil that drains well
Sage (Salvia Officinalis) is an aromatic, relatively woody perennial shrub belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae) that is indigenous to the northern Mediterranean.
Provide your sage with full sun, or at least six hours of direct sunlight per day, for the best flavor. But if you live in zone 8 or higher, your sage might like some shade in the afternoon, especially when it’s hot.
Sage plants prefer well-drained sandy or loamy soil. Wet soils can cause rot and ultimately kill the plant. The pH of the soil should be slightly acidic to neutral.
