Common sage will arrive as a beautifully rooted seedling in a pot, which you can transplant to its final location immediately after unpacking. It will thrive best in a hot, sunny spot that mimics its Mediterranean homeland. It requires very well-drained, even poorer, sandy, or stony soil. If you have heavy soil in your garden, be sure to add gravel to the bottom of the planting hole to ensure good drainage. When planting in a bed, maintain a spacing of about 40 centimeters, which corresponds to about seven plants per square meter. This spacing ensures sufficient air circulation around the neat, 40 to 60 centimeter tall bushes. As for watering and nutrition, the 'Purple Beauty' variety is absolutely undemanding and ideal for beginners. The plant is drought-tolerant, so it gets by with only occasional watering during very dry periods. Fertilization is not necessary at all; in poor soil, it maintains a much better and more compact shape. Sages grow well in full sun and are well-suited for growing in containers on a terrace or balcony. If you are going to grow it in a pot, don't forget to use a sufficiently large container with a drainage hole and a thick layer of drainage at the bottom so that the roots do not stand in water. During the season, the sage will reward you with magnificent gray-green leaves with a purple hue, and in June and July, with blue-violet flowers that magically attract bees and butterflies. Since the plant is completely free of pests and does not suffer from any diseases, you do not need to deal with chemical sprays. To maintain a compact shape and ensure maximum content of aromatic substances in the leaves, it is recommended to lightly trim the plant after flowering. Always perform a return cut early in the spring, which will support the density of the bush and remove any frost-bitten ends of the twigs. This herb and ornamental perennial in one is highly hardy and will easily handle temperatures down to -23 °C. Only excessive winter dampness and heavy, wet soil can bother it. Before the arrival of strong frosts, you can lightly cover the plant's roots with evergreen branches, but this is usually not necessary for older, well-rooted bushes. You can then continuously harvest the leaves and stems with flowers throughout the season; they are great for cutting into summer bouquets or for drying.
