Leben Sage (Salvia Officinalis) Premium Quality Seeds Made in Italy

Sage is highly regarded as a medicinal herb and has been used for years to cure a long list of ailments
from broken bones and wounds to stomach disorders, shortness of breath and loss of memory.
Pliny the Elder (23 – 79 AD), a Roman naturalist and philosopher, recommended using sage for intestinal worms, memory problems and snake bites.
Sage is attractive with grayish-green foliage and beautiful purple-pink blossoms. It is equally at home grown outdoors in garden beds or indoors in containers.
We recommend planting this hardy perennial with other Mediterranean herbs, like basil and rosemary, for a delicious and fragrant kitchen garden.
Sturdy plants — 12 to 30 inches high — are perennial in zones 5-10.
If starting seeds indoors, sow under plant lights 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
Seeds will take about 3 weeks to germinate. Transplant seedlings to the garden after all danger of frost has passed.
Space the plants 2 feet apart and divide every 3-5 years to keep them vigorous.
Sage seeds are ready to save when the blooms turn brown and dry.
When completely dry, gently crush the heads between your hands and carefully winnow away the chaff.
