Sage Broad Leaf Seeds

€4.00

Salvia officinalis

Broad Leaf Sage, also known as Garden Sage, is a hardy perennial herb well-suited to Irish growing conditions. It forms neat plants with soft grey-green leaves that are deeply aromatic and full of flavour.

Easy to grow in pots or as an edible border, sage is valued both in the kitchen and the garden. In summer, violet-blue flowers attract bees and pollinators, while the scented leaves help deter pests such as cabbage white butterfly and carrot fly.

Average number of seeds: 14

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland from plants originally grown from certified organic seed.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • Broad Leaf Sage prefers sun and free-draining soil and is ideal for pots or garden borders. Sow seeds in modular trays or small pots using peat-free organic seed compost. Lightly cover and keep moist until germination. Grow on in good light; plants establish slowly in the first year.

    Harden off before planting out into a sunny, sheltered position. Avoid waterlogged soil.

    Sow: March to May

    Plant out: May to June

    Harvesting time: All year round (from year one onward)

  • Broad Leaf Sage has a robust, earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with roasted meats such as poultry and pork, as well as squash, potatoes, stuffing, beans, stews, and pasta sauces. Use leaves finely chopped or whole to gently infuse flavour.

    For a fragrant finish, fry whole sage leaves in olive oil or butter until crisp, then scatter over soups, roasted vegetables, gnocchi, or risottos.
