Sage

Soft, silvery leaves with a savory, earthy flavor. Great for poultry, stuffing, and herbal tea blends.

• Sage is a perennial in Minnesota, but may need winter protection in pots.

• Sunlight: Full sun (6+ hours daily).

• Soil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil.

• Transplanting: Plant gently at the same depth as in the pot.

• Watering: Let soil dry between waterings; drought-tolerant once established.

• Fertilization: Fertilize every 6–8 weeks with compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer (5-10-10).

• Other Tips: Prune to prevent woodiness and encourage new growth.
