Sage medicinal (Salvia Officinalis) 120 seeds (#1728)

A perennial plant, used as a herbal raw material, regulates digestion, is used to rinse the throat, gums and mouth, and its infusions soothe inflammation in the body.
It is a valuable spice additive to meat dishes, cakes, desserts and salads.
This perennial herb is a joy to grow because it is pretty, functional and easy. It requires full sun and very well-drained soil. Excessive moisture at the root zone can lead to root rot. Avoid mulching it too. Once established, sage is very drought tolerant and will thrive where growing conditions drier, though it will also flourish in areas with regular rain if provided sharply drained soil and high light.
Approximately 120 seeds in 1g packet.
