I like the article This plant in the summer assumes a red colouring; it is small in size and can reach 90 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Sage develops growing in height, and develops a bare stem, creating a thick crown. The Sage develops like a shrub. Fertilize Sage
Medicinal plants develop new shoots and foliage during the spring period, this is why it is advisable to fertilize periodically, every 15-20 days, using a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water. Light Sage
We suggest growing the The Sage in a place where it's sheltered by frost; when all dangers of late freezings are gone we can locate them outdoors. Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light.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. Water Sage
We suggest watering these plants with 2-3 glasses of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 2-3 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. 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. Pests 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. Mold Sage
We recommend cultivating these aromatic plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
