Growing Sage Seeds – Broad Leaf Herb

Non-GMO Broad Leaved Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a warm perennial herb that grows as a flowering subshrub, reaching 1-2 feet in height. This sage variety blooms from late spring through mid-summer, and again in early fall. Upon reaching maturity, sage develops semi-woody stems and gray-green leaves that provide an earthy aroma with mild pepper and sweet flavor. Sage plants continue to produce and spread like mint, fully establishing themselves in the second year. As temperatures drop, cold-hardy sage varieties will go dormant over winter after blooming with bold violet-indigo flowers and setting seed.
