Days to Maturity: 75 from direct sow

A long-lived evergreen perennial.

Introduced to North America in the 17th century, Sage has been used over the centuries for a wide variety of culinary and medicinal purposes. This hardy evergreen shrub is easy to grow and long-lived, a mainstay of the perennial border, herb garden, and containers for the patio and even the home. The aroma is enticing and the flavor fabulous. Be sure to grow plenty in your garden.

Many Americans associate sage with Thanksgiving, but this seasoning is useful in a wide range of dishes, from dressings and sausages to cheeses and meats. Try growing your own, and enjoy its superb flavor and aroma—not to mention its attractive appearance—for many seasons in the garden.

Sage is a shrubby plant, forming many side branches of velvety-textured, wrinkled, gray-green leaves about 2 inches long. Spikes of 1/2-inch violet, pink to white flowers appear in summer. The plant matures to 24 to 32 inches high and 36 inches wide.

Sow seeds at 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. They take about 3 weeks to germinate, but then grow readily and can be transplanted when they have at least 2 sets of true leaves. Grow in well-drained to dry, neutral to alkaline soil in full sun.

Pick sage leaves as needed once the plant is growing well and has branched out nicely—75 days is a benchmark, but individual plants will vary depending upon conditions. Stop harvesting in fall, so that the plant can harden off for winter outdoors in the garden or containers.

Sage will become woody and leaf out sparsely after about 4 years; at that time, if you are growing it for culinary purposes, it is best to remove the entire plant and begin a new one.

    I planted these seedlings in the Spring of 2022. They kept their silvery-green leaves even with little water, heavy rains, no fertilizer through the Summer. The plant bloomed in the Fall and kept its blooms all winter, even in the awful freeze we had at the end of Dec. 2022. I finally cut it back, flowers and all, early Spring of 2023. It grew back looking even healthier and I’m looking forward to its blooms in the winter! Gladiolus came up amongst the sage roots in early Summer (not planned) and together they made a lovely couple! The sage is only about 2ft tall and the glads blooms rose above the silvery green leaves which was beautiful. The glads die back amongst the sage and everything remained pretty. I’m sure the sage won’t last forever, so I’m prepared to plant more when needed.
