Sage is easy to grow. The plant I harvest from (and you probably only need one unless you are cooking in a commercial kitchen operation) I planted over three years ago from seed. This sage is now about 3 ft. by 3 ft. even after getting cut back each year. The soil where my sage is planted is fairly well drained and sits slightly above grade in a raised bed created by concrete retaining wall blocks. The foliage has a silver/grey color which is pretty nifty next to my Japanese maple. My sage is in need of a late August trim which would be a great opportunity to dry some sage for winter use.
What is your favorite use for sage?
