{"product_id":"sage-broadleaf","title":"Broadleaf Sage Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eBroadleaf Sage is the kitchen garden's most fragrant culinary herb—its large, velvety grey-green leaves carry an intensely earthy, slightly peppery fragrance that is the soul of Thanksgiving stuffing, brown butter pasta, and roasted meats. A hardy perennial that grows more productive and beautiful each year, it asks only for full sun and excellent drainage in return for decades of generous harvests. Run your fingers through the leaves for an instant sensory experience that no dried herb can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost—sage germinates slowly and benefits from a heat mat for best results. Transplant after last frost to a sunny, well-drained location. In its first year harvest lightly to allow establishment; in subsequent years harvest freely. Trim after flowering to keep plants compact and productive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salvia officinalis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial (Zones 5–8); annual in colder regions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e ¼ inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–24 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–21 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to First Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–80 days from transplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun (6+ hours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low — drought tolerant once established; excellent drainage required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (slow germination)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heirloom, Open-Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Seattle Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616752455869,"sku":"sku-39686488850640","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/8205\/5613\/files\/sage_2021__57109.png?v=1775749652","url":"https:\/\/bhhec.com\/products\/sage-broadleaf","provider":"Black Hills Health Retreat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
