Thompson & Morgan Herb Sage 1 Seed Packet (75 Seeds)

With its rich flavour and soft blue green leaves, this is an essential herb ideal for adding to a Sunday roast. This attractive plant is perfect planted in a perennial border, with the flavour of the leaves best when grown in warm and dry conditions. Sow sage from March to May, in pots or trays on the surface of barely moist seed compost and cover seeds with a sprinkling of finely sieved compost. Place in a propagator at 15-20C (59- 68F) until germination, which can be up to 21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow on in cooler conditions. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise oregano plants to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting outdoors. Plant sage at a distance of 38cm (15") apart on any fertile, free draining, non acidic soil in full sun. Once established sage requires little attention and copes well with dry conditions. Prune sage plants in spring to encourage new shoots with a strong flavour. H
