Care Sage
The Sage is a year or two year long plant. The development of the The Sage is Sage isn't an evergreen; during the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a purple colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 45 cm in height.

Temperatures SageSole pieno
For a balanced development of the The Sage it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. The Sage is a plant which can be grown in the garden year round.Seeing that the foliage of the aromatic plants is used for alimentary needs, we advise paying attention to the use of insecticides and anticryptogamics: let’s use only those for agriculture and let’s follow very strictly the lacking period written on the label before harvesting these plants.

Irrigation SageTenere asciutto
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 2-3 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. A great part of the aromatic plants are used fresh; during the spring and in the summer it is possible to harvest a good quantity of them, to conserve dehydrated or frozen, to use them during the cold months.

Adversity Sage
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Substrate Sage
We recommend cultivating these aromatic plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
