A dense evergreen mound of thick pebbly silver-grey leaves, heavy with aromatic oil, and the essential herb for a Sunday roast, a proper stuffing or a herb butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing evergreen is what makes it valuable. While the annual herbs are long gone, sage carries on giving you fresh grey-green leaves through the winter, and it puts up spikes of mauve-blue flowers in early summer that the bees work steadily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts one real enemy is winter wet rather than winter cold. On heavy clay, add grit or grow it in a raised bed or a terracotta pot. When pruning, cut into green growth only — sage does not reliably regenerate from old brown wood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53657054085453,"sku":"HRB-SGE","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Sage_Common_1.png?v=1776506516","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-sage-common","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
