Instructions Chevron Down Chevron Forward
    Growing Instructions:

    Sage seeds can be sown directly into the garden when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is passed. Soil temperature (not air temperature) should be warmer than 15°C (60°F) for seeds to germinate. Planting at a lower temperature will delay germination. Choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Space seeds and plant to the depth indicated below. Press seeds into the soil to ensure good contact and cover with 6 mm (1/4") of soil. After planting, water the seeds with a gentle mist or shower. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy during germination. When your seedlings reach a height of a few centimetres (inches) and have developed 2 or 3 pairs of leaves, it is important to thin them out, according to the plant spacing indicated below. Do not allow the soil to become dry, as young plants have underdeveloped roots and can quickly dehydrate, particularly in windy conditions.

    For an earlier crop, seeds can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

Suggestions Chevron Down Chevron Forward
Growing Suggestions:
  • Sage seeds can be started at any time for indoor use.
  • Sage prefers well-draining soil. If plants get water logged it will cause stress to the plant and may lead to root rot. Sage prefers the soil to dry out in between waterings.
  • In the first year of growth, only a few leaves should be harvested throughout the season. After overwintering and developing a strong root system, leaves can be harvested in greater quantities from the bushy growth.
  • A single sage plant can be harvested up to three times in a season if it is well-established. To harvest, pinch off the leaves or snip small sprigs from the plant. It is important to stop harvesting in the fall so that the plant can prepare for the winter.
