How to grow Sage from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for an early start.
  • Direct sow outdoors in early spring or late fall (for natural stratification).
  • In warm climates, seeds can be sown in late fall for spring germination.

Preparing for Planting

  • Select a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  • Loosen soil 6-8 inches deep and amend with sand or compost if needed.
  • If planting in containers, use a pot with drainage holes.

Sowing Seeds

  • Scatter seeds lightly over the soil surface.
  • Cover with a thin layer (1/8 inch) of soil or sand.
  • Keep soil slightly moist until germination occurs (typically in 14-30 days).

Transplanting Seedlings

  • Once seedlings reach 3-4 inches tall, transplant them 18-24 inches apart.
  • Handle roots carefully to minimize transplant shock.
  • Water lightly after transplanting.

Pro Tip

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and prune in early spring to promote bushy growth.

Bonus: Blue sage attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies and is deer-resistant, making it a great low-maintenance addition to any garden!

Getting to know your Sage

Blue Sage belongs to the Lamiaceae family, which includes many other aromatic and medicinal herbs such as mint and lavender. It grows in upright clumps, typically reaching 18 to 36 inches in height. The plant produces spikes of tubular blue to purple flowers that bloom from spring until the first frost. Its foliage consists of slender, lance-shaped green leaves with a slightly silvery appearance due to fine hairs on the surface.

This plant is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Additionally, its low-maintenance nature makes it an ideal plant for beginner gardeners.
