Sage, organic seeds
Eco Heirloom
Information
Salvia officinalis, belongs to the Labiate family and is originally from Southern Europe where green, motley and purple-coloured variants have been grown for a very long time. This is a perennial half-bush with grey-green leaves, usually. Sage plants should be pre-cultivated. Keep 25 cm between the plants! Cover the sage for wintering in the North and renew it after a few years. The rose-violet flowers are much appreciated by bees. Pick shoots and young leaves for cabbage-, lamb- and mutton dishes and also for salads and fish. The sage prefers to be the only seasoning in a dish and should never be mixed with other (h)erbs.
130 seeds/g. A portion contains about 100 seeds.
