About Sage
Sage is a hardy drought-tolerant perennial herb that becomes more aromatic in lean well-drained soil.
Plant in full sun very well-drained soil. Prune hard in spring to prevent woodiness. Excellent in containers — very drought-tolerant once established. Harvest before flowering for best flavour.
