Strong, aromatic flavour for meat. Great for stuffings especially with pork or poultry.
Features: Very popular, strongly aromatic, long lived plants.
Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors for surest results, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, thinly in small trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings individually to 8cm (3") pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm (1') apart.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors for ease, thinly where they are to crop, 0.5cm (1/4") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 30cm (1') apart.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Full sun
Hints & Tips: Sage is the traditional ingredient in stuffing and compliments rich meats very well as it counteracts fattiness.
