Berggarten Sage offer attractive silvery-green leaves on a compact growing plant. Besides its traditional use with turkey, try sage in apple dishes, with green vegetables, and to season pork and poultry. Sage grows best in full sun with well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established. It can be grown indoors next to a south facing window. If grown indoors, potting mix should slightly dry before watering.

Our Berggarten Sage Herb Plants are grown with a commitment to natural methods, ensuring they're healthy and robust. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Planting Instructions:

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water plants deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring if needed
  • - Over-fertilization can lead to excessive growth at the expense of flavor

Pruning and Training:

These beauties transferred wonderfully to my outdoor herb gardens. Not only do they look great, they make many of our meals taste so much better!

Beautiful plant

Arrived in great condition, and started thriving right away. Sadly, it did not survive my recent vacation, but that was my fault, as I didn't have anyone watering my plants, and this is in a small-ish container. I will give this a try again next year for all my turkey and butternut squash recipes.

From Susan | August 08, 2021

The plants arrived very securely packaged and were in great shape. Happy customer!

Healthy plants

Was needing a new sage to replace my old one that went south this year...the one I received was very healthy and hopefully will give years of good cornbread dressing : )

Arrived in good condition.

Tall and healthy

It is the tallest and healthy looking herb plant. It didn't seem to suffer too much from the delayed delivery due to extra scan by whomever (UPS) says it's not their doing!!!!
