Mr Fothergills Sage 75 Seeds

Sage

Sage is an evergreen which has a strong, aromatic flavour ideal for using with meat.

Sow thinly, indoors for surest results from February to March, 0.5cm deep, in small trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings individually to 8cm pots, when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions avoiding frosts, before planting out into well-drained soil, 30cm apart, during May and June. Or sow thinly, outdoors from April to May for ease, where they are to crop, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 30cm apart. Pick the leaves, as required, throughout the year. Sage can also be dried and stores well.
