Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a hardy, evergreen perennial herb, offered here as a small-medium potted plant. It forms a compact, bushy shrub 40 to 70 cm tall with soft, grey-green aromatic leaves, topped with spikes of purple-blue flowers loved by bees in late spring and early summer. Prized in the kitchen for its earthy, savoury flavour, sage is a classic seasoning for meats, stuffing, and herbal teas, and has traditionally been valued in herbal use for its beneficial properties. A dependable, low-maintenance herb for Irish and UK kitchen gardens and herb beds.

Growing Instructions
Grow in full sun in well-drained soil enriched with compost, avoiding heavy or waterlogged ground. Water regularly while establishing; once settled in, sage is drought-tolerant and prefers drier conditions. Apply a light spring mulch. Prune lightly after flowering to keep growth compact and prevent it becoming woody.
