Broadleaf Sage is a classic culinary herb prized for its soft, gray-green leaves and warm, earthy flavor. This versatile perennial herb is a staple in kitchen gardens, herb beds, and container plantings, where its aromatic foliage adds both beauty and function. Broadleaf Sage pairs well with rosemary, thyme, and oregano, making it an excellent choice for a dedicated herb garden or a mixed border.

Planting & Care

Sow Broadleaf Sage seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not waterlogged; germination typically occurs in 10–21 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as plants become drought-tolerant. Prune lightly in spring to encourage bushy growth, and harvest leaves as needed throughout the season. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in winter to protect the roots.
