How to grow Sage 'variegated'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that variegated is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. 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 variegated from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting variegated

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