Sage

Common sage 'Nazareth' is an indispensable perennial for every lover of herbs and sun-drenched gardens. It originally comes from the dry, rocky slopes of the Mediterranean, which is why it also seeks full sun and rather poor, well-drained soil here. From the seedling in a pot you receive, a nice bush thirty to forty centimeters tall will grow. It is an undemanding plant that can handle frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees and does not suffer from diseases or pests. In the garden, it is perfectly suited for drought-tolerant plantings, where it complements lower ornamental grasses. During June and July, it blooms with blue-violet flowers that act as a reliable magnet for bees and butterflies. The flowering stems can be used for cutting into summer bouquets. The 'Nazareth' variety stands out with its velvety grey-green leaves with a pleasant marzipan aroma. They can be used in the kitchen as well as in tea blends. For maximum aromatic content, we recommend removing the forming flowers in time.

Common sage is a classic that you will utilize in both herb and ornamental gardens. It originally comes from the sunny and rocky slopes of the Mediterranean. In our gardens too, it will appreciate direct sun and well-draining, rather poorer soil. You will receive a mature seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into the flowerbed. Caring for it is easy and even a beginner can handle it, because it does not suffer from pests or diseases and survives even severe frosts. It forms neat little bushes up to sixty centimeters tall. In June and July, it blooms with bluish-purple flowers, which are an attraction for bees and butterflies. The Purple Beauty variety is interesting for the purplish tinge of its grey-green leaves. These look very beautiful in combination with other drought-tolerant perennials all season long until late into winter. They are edible and highly aromatic. To maximize the content of fragrant substances in the leaves, we remove the flowers. The plant is exceptionally well-suited for cutting. You can use its leaves and stems with flowers in summer bouquets, or you can easily dry them for further crafting.

Common sage is an essential part of every herb and ornamental garden. Its original homeland is the sunny and dry slopes of southern Europe, which is why it thrives best here in direct sun in well-drained and rather poor soil. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant directly into the flowerbed, ideally at a distance of forty centimeters apart, where it will very quickly form a stable clump reaching a height of forty to sixty centimeters. During June and July, it blooms with tiny purple to blue flowers, which act as a reliable attraction for bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators. It is an absolutely undemanding perennial for beginners, which easily tolerates frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees and does not suffer from any diseases or pests. We can grow it in containers or freely in flowerbeds. Its grayish-green aromatic leaves look very nice in combination with other drought-loving perennials throughout the season and long into the winter. For maximum content of aromatic substances in the leaves, we recommend removing the flowers. The entire plant is edible and will find wide use in the kitchen. In addition, its stems are perfect for cutting into summer bouquets and for drying into dry arrangements, where they will retain their shape and spicy fragrance for a long time.
