Questions and Answers About Sage

Why do people grow sage in herb gardens?
Sage is grown primarily for its aromatic leaves, which are used as a seasoning in cooking and as an ingredient in herbal teas. It is also an attractive garden plant that draws beneficial pollinators like bees.
How can you tell fresh sage from other herbs?
Sage leaves have a distinctive pebbled texture, a silvery-green appearance, and a strong, slightly earthy scent when rubbed between fingers.
When is the best time to gather fresh sage leaves?
Harvesting is usually done in the morning after the dew has dried, preferably before the plant produces flowers, as the foliage contains the most intense flavor at that time.
