Growing & Sowing Tips
📅 SowingPlant in spring (after the last frost) or in autumn, as seedlings or from seed; scatter seed on the surface and press gently.
🌱 Depth0.5 cm (needs light; cover lightly)
📏 Spacing45-60 cm
🌞 SunFull sun
💧 WateringLow; a weekly deep watering is enough, avoid standing water
🧺 HarvestCut the young leaves before flowering; harvest regularly through summer
🪴 SoilFree-draining, dry to moderately moist, chalky or slightly alkaline
⭐ DifficultyEasy
🗓️ SeasonSpring / Autumn
📅 Calendar is for the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere shift sowing times by ~6 months.
💡 Key tip: Renew the plant every 3-4 years once the sage turns woody; overwatering rots the roots.
🤝 Companion logic: Next to brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts) and carrots, its scent drives off butterflies/moths and the carrot rust fly; it gets along well with legumes such as peas and beans, and with rosemary. Don't plant it next to alliums like onion, leek and garlic (different water needs, can slow its growth). Keep away from fennel (allelopathic) and cucumber (sensitive to aromatic herbs, suppresses its growth).
