Sage Seeds grow into perennial, upright, bushy herbs with aromatic, gray-green leaves and spikes of tubular flowers in shades of purple, blue, or pink. They thrive in temperate climates with full sun and well-draining, fertile soil. Sage is ideal for herb gardens, borders, containers, and pollinator-friendly gardens, providing ornamental blooms, aromatic foliage, and attracting bees and butterflies throughout the growing season.
