Plant Care & Growing Tips

While you are receiving harvested leaves, understanding the general care for sage plants can help you appreciate the quality of our naturally grown sage and potentially inspire you to grow your own. Sage thrives in conditions that mimic its Mediterranean origins. It prefers full sun exposure, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Good air circulation is also crucial to prevent fungal issues.

When growing sage, well-draining soil is paramount. A sandy or loamy soil mix with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. Overwatering is a common mistake; sage is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. For optimal growth, avoid heavy fertilization; a light application of a balanced organic fertilizer in spring is usually sufficient. Sage plants are generally hardy in USDA zones 5-9, tolerating a range of temperatures. Pruning regularly helps maintain a bushy shape and encourages new growth, ensuring a continuous supply of aromatic culinary sage herb.

Common issues include powdery mildew in humid conditions or root rot from overwatering. Proper spacing and good drainage are the best preventative measures. If you’re considering growing your own, remember that fresh sage plants are relatively low-maintenance, making them a rewarding addition to any herb garden. The quality of our harvested leaves reflects these careful growing practices.
