Sage is an evergreen shrub in the mint family with a strong herbal aroma and earthy flavor, perfect for seasoning savory recipes, roasted meats, and traditional Mediterranean dishes. This aromatic herb has slightly fuzzy textured leaves that are best used cooked rather than raw, making it ideal for stuffing, sauces, and herb butter preparations. The silvery-green foliage also provides natural antimicrobial properties and has been used traditionally for digestive support and throat soothing. Perfect for herb gardens, container growing, or kitchen windowsill cultivation where fresh herbs are always within reach for cooking. Plant in well-draining soil in full sun, spacing 30-40cm apart for optimal growth. Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced herb fertilizer to encourage continuous leaf production and maintain aromatic potency.
