About The Plant

Medicine is made from the leaf. Loss of appetite, gas (flatulence), stomach pain (gastritis), diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn are all symptoms of sage use. It’s also used to treat depression, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as to reduce excessive sweating and saliva production.

Plant Care

Sunlight: Full sun.

Watering: Water lightly everyday. Water the soil deep enough such that the root zone is moist too. Drip irrigation systems or soaker hoses are perfect for this. If you allow the soil to dry out, the leaves may yellow and drop. Apply a layer of mulch around your plants to help retain moisture while preventing weeds from growing in your herbs. If a herb garden is smothered with weeds, your herbs won’t get adequate nutrients from the soil for healthy growth, turning your herbs yellowish & sickly.

Fertiliser: Apply organic granular fertiliser or liquid fertiliser. Avoid chemical fertilisers as the higher amount of chemicals applied (e.g. Nitrogen), the lesser the flavour & the slower the growth of the herb. Apply organic fertiliser instead.

Soil: Plant in a moist, rich, well-drained soil.
