Planting & Care

Sow Extrakta 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 moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65–70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14–21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Harvest leaves as needed, preferably in the morning for best flavor.
