You will fall in love with 'Joy' sage for its airy appearance and low maintenance, provided you give it conditions imitating its homeland. The key to success is sun and dryness. Plant the seedlings in the warmest places in the garden, where the sun beats down for most of the day. The soil must not be humous or heavy; on the contrary, this sage loves poorer, stony, and sandy subsoils.
This sage is a great choice for growing in containers on terraces and balconies. Choose a sufficiently large pot with a drainage hole and use a herb substrate mixed with perlite or sand. A plant in a container will require slightly more frequent watering than in the open ground, but the rule always applies: it is better to let it dry out than to overwater. Fertilizing is not necessary for its prosperity, but a weak dose of fertilizer in the spring will support the vitality of the leaves and the setting of light pink flowers. Because the plant is free of pests and diseases, you don't have to worry about complicated chemical protection and can enjoy the presence of bees and butterflies attracted by the flowers.
To make your sage bring you joy for as long as possible, spring pruning is important. Since it is a subshrub with a woody base, we shorten last year's shoots only when the danger of severe frosts has passed (March/April), to a height of about 10–15 cm above the ground or to live wood. This will encourage dense growth and rich flowering, which lasts from late spring to autumn. During the summer, the plant is practically maintenance-free; only occasional pinching of faded tops will encourage the formation of new flowers. Its leaves smell pleasant and are edible, so you don't have to worry about planting it near a seating area or children's play area.
When it comes to overwintering, be careful. Although the plant can withstand frost down to -12 °C, in our conditions it is often harmed more by a combination of damp and cold than by the frost itself. If you grow it in a flowerbed, mound gravel or small stones (not bark, which retains moisture) around the base of the plant for the winter and cover it with pine branches. In colder areas, it is safer to grow it as a portable plant in a pot and hide it for the winter in a cool, bright space where the temperature does not drop below freezing. This will ensure that you will meet this beautiful perennial again in the next season.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
