Sage is drought hardy once established and the fastest way to kill it is wet feet, so keep it out of low spots and go easy with the hose. Prune lightly after flowering to stop it going woody and open in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick leaves from about 12 weeks, taking sprigs from around the bush rather than stripping one side. The flavour is strongest just before flowering. Sage dries well and holds its character better than most herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51474579685688,"sku":"ORHA040","price":3.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/sage-seeds-organic-2429849.jpg?v=1785234738","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/sage-seeds-organic","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
