Sage is a highly aromatic herb known for its earthy, slightly peppery flavor. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and European cuisines to add depth to dishes such as roasted meats, stuffing, soups, and sauces. Sage pairs particularly well with poultry, pork, and sausage dishes. In addition to its culinary uses, sage has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, such as aiding digestion and soothing sore throats.

Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start sage seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist but not overly wet, and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing sage seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep with a light cover of soil in well-drained soil. Space them 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy growth.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest sage cut individual leaves or sprigs from the plant using scissors or pruning shears. For best flavor, harvest sage in the morning when the essential oils are most concentrated. Avoid removing more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continued growth.
