Sowing and care
Sage is a hardy perennial plant. Likes lots of sun and well-drained soils. Sage seeds germinate very well in pre-culture. Sprinkle seeds onto the substrate and press them gently into the soil only slightly covering them. Keep warm and plant the seedlings out with care after the last night frosts.
