Sage
Salvia officinalis
Sage is a short-lived perennial herb with strongly flavoured foliage. It is a common addition in many dishes and can be used fresh or dried.
Harvest your sage as needed throughout the growing season, but do not remove more than 1/3 of the foliage at a time. This ensures the plant has enough energy to keep growing.
Sage grows best in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Sage is somewhat drought-tolerant, but grows better with regular moisture. Consider adding organic matter to your garden to improve drainage and soil fertility.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.

Care
Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun)
Let top 1-2" dry out before watering again.
If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
