Sage Herb Seeds. Sage 'Salvia officinalis' has the best & strongest flavour of all types of sage. It is a hardy evergreen perennial that can be picked all through the year.

Sage 'Salvia offinalis' grows to a height & spread of 60cm and has soft, oval grey-green leaves, with mauve-blue flowers. A pretty plant that looks just as good in you garden borders as in the veg patch or in a container. Can be grown indoors if there is enough light.

Patience is needed to grow sage from seed, as seed sown in March will not be ready to pick until June the following year but that just makes it more satisfying to harvest. Somethings are just worth waiting for. Seed sown in August/September can be lightly picked in June but should be kept in greenhouse overwinter for protection.

As a woody perennial it will need replacing after 4-7 years as it becomes woody & less productive so propagate from cuttings in late spring/early summer to ensure the crop continues.

Sage is the key ingredient for 'Sage & Onion' stuffing and complements Pork wonderfully but also tastes great with other meat like chicken, in soups or mixed with cream cheese. It can be used fresh, frozen or dried, each has its own merits but if dried it becomes stronger and stores well.
