Sage Seeds

Product Description: Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a hardy perennial herb known for its aromatic, gray-green leaves and beautiful blue-purple flowers. It is widely used in culinary dishes, particularly in meat, stuffing, and sauces, and also has medicinal properties.

Growing Conditions:

• Climate: Sage thrives in South African climates, especially in regions with mild winters and hot, dry summers. Ideal temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Enrich the soil with organic compost before planting.
• Watering: Moderate watering is required. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially for young plants.
• Planting: Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep and space plants about 50 cm apart. Sage seeds can take up to 4-6 weeks to germinate, so be patient.

Care Tips:

• Fertilization: Sage is not a heavy feeder. Use a light application of organic fertilizer if needed.
• Pests and Diseases: Watch for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Use organic pest control methods to manage infestations.
• Harvesting: Harvest leaves as needed once the plant is established. For the best flavor, pick leaves before the plant flowers.

Sage is a versatile and resilient herb that can enhance both your garden and your kitchen. Happy gardening! 🌿
