Extrakta Garden Sage

More robust and uniform than common Sage, this improved German variety has a delightful fragrance due to a higher essential oil content. Sage adds a wonderful scent and beauty to the garden with gray-green foliage and purple-blue flower spikes. Sow it in a fine soil mix or with one-quarter fine sand added to seed starter mix. Transplants need evenly moist soil for two weeks after transplanting, but Sage is drought-tolerant once established. Plants become woody, so replace every two to three years. Fresh Sage has a richer taste than the dried form. Perennial. Hardiness zones: 5-9; can be grown as an annual in colder zones. Height: 12" to 24". (OP.)

Average seed life: 1 year.

  • Information
    • Salvia officinalis. Sage may be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to transplanting outside after the last spring frost date, or it may be direct-sown after the last possible frost date. The seedlings prefer even moisture for at least the first two weeks after transplant after which they are rather drought-tolerant. Bee friendly. Deer resistant.

    Average seed life: 2 years.
  • Gardening Tips
    • Sage Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      :1/4”-1/2”
      Row Spacing:12”-18”
      Seed Spacing:3”-6”
      Plant Spacing: 12”

      Herbs may be either direct-sown outdoors after the threat of frost has passed, or started indoors for transplanting or container gardening. Herbs require moderately rich, well-draining soil with at least 5 hours of bright sunlight. To start indoors: sow lightly in sterilized seed mix, lightly moisten and cover with plastic wrap until germination takes place. Do not water again until sprouts emerge. Remove plastic wrap once sprouted. Transplant outdoors when the threat of frost has passed. Some perennials like Lavender, Catnip or Savory prefer to be started indoors. Others such as Chives, Sage or Fennel prefer to be direct-sown outside once the soil has warmed. Most herbs dislike chemicals or over-fertilization. Feed lightly with kelp or fish emulsion once seedlings are well established. Keep lightly moist: never wet. Pinch back the plants to avoid flowering and to encourage leaf production.
