Planting & Care

Sow Broadleaf Sage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, thin or transplant them to 18-24 inches apart.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system, then reduce watering as plants become drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in winter to protect roots.
