How to grow Sage 'Alba'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Alba is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 4.9 and 8.2 as Alba likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Alba from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.23 inches (0.6 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between Sage plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Alba

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