Sage (Salvia officinalis) in Herb South Dakota

Description

Sage is a perennial herb with soft, gray-green leaves and a strong, earthy flavor. It is commonly used in poultry dishes, stuffing, and sausages.

Planting Instructions:

Sage prefers well-drained soil and full sun. Plant seeds or transplants after the last frost date, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. Sage is drought-tolerant once established and only requires moderate watering. Prune plants in the spring to encourage new growth and prevent woodiness. Sage benefits from regular harvesting to promote bushy growth.
