Sage is a semi hardy perennial which can live up to five years.

Plant the seedlings out in spring in situ in well drained average soil which will receive full sun during the day.

If you pinch the small plants as they grow they will branch outwards rather than upwards.

It may be worthwhile using a 2' stake if your plant is likely to be subjected to blustery conditions. The plant will grow to about 2 ' and is reasonably sturdy
