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 and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14–21 days at 65–70°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing. Sage prefers full sun and well-drained soil; avoid overwatering, as soggy conditions can lead to root rot. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushy growth, and harvest leaves as needed throughout the season.
