Planting and Care Instructions
Sow indoors with strong light, in 1/4" deep holes, 6-8 weeks before the last frost. To aid germination keep soil warm and moist, but well drained. When danger of frost has passed, transplant 3-4" seedlings outside to full sun. Water consistently and thin down spacing once plants are established. Light tip pruning promotes bushy growth; but it is best to let plants become established before the first true harvest. Sage is wonderful fresh or hung in bundles to use dry.
