How to grow Sage 'hybrida'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that hybrida is thought of as hardy, so hybrida will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. Ensure your soil is loamy and sandy and has a ph of between 4.9 and 8.2 as Sage is a moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Growing hybrida from seed

Look to ensure a distance 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.23 inches (0.6 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing hybrida about 84 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting hybrida

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as hybrida is a hardy plant.
