Sage

I started with 6" starter plants, Common Sage (Salvia Comun) by Bonnie Plants. I have two plants and I potted them directly into garden soil in two medium sized terra-cotta, bowl shaped pots. With terra-cotta, you want to be wet the pot before planting anything in it to help with moisture control. (right) This is my Sage right after being transplanted from the starter plant container in June.

Growing Tips: Sage prefers full sun (but tolerates light shade) and well drained soil.

Harvesting: Harvest leaves before flowering, unless the flowers are being pinched off throughout the growing season.

Placement: Sage should be grown next to Rosemary, both plants will grow healthier.
