Seed Preparation:

No specific preparation needed, but soaking seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting can speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Plant seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
Space seeds 2-3 inches apart in seed trays or pots.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days.

Transplanting:

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.
Transplant seedlings to the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows or garden beds.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Sage thrives in slightly dry conditions; overwatering can harm the plants.
Prune plants regularly to encourage bushy growth and remove any woody stems.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Happy Gardening!
