The foliage also has an ornamental quality that can enhance garden beds and containers.

Growing sage that will live for many years requires the right growing conditions.

Freely draining soil and good air circulation go a long way toward preventing problems.

Sage is drought-resistant and scrappy, especially when planted in a garden bed.

However, neglecting your container-grown sage and having it wilt when things get too dry is possible.

Dont worry; watering your sage more frequently wont bother rosemary growing in the same pot.

Trim your potted sage backusing those trimmings in the kitchenand give it a sunny spot indoors.

Better yet,place your potted sage under grow lights.
