The aromatic and flavorful leaves can be used fresh or dried in a variety of dishes, such as sauces, stuffings, roasted vegetables, and teas.
How to Grow Golden Sage
Growing Golden Sage prefers full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Just like other sage varieties, ‘Gold Sage’ thrives in an environment with good air circulation to ensure healthy growth. Whether you choose to plant it in an herb garden, mix it with pansies and small grasses for cool weather combination planters, or incorporate it into your landscape as an ornamental feature, Golden Sage will flourish and captivate with its bi-color foliage.
To nurture your Golden Sage, provide it with ample sunlight and well-draining soil. Ensure that the soil is not excessively moist to prevent the risk of root rot. Regularly monitor the moisture level and water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as sage plants prefer slightly drier conditions.
As soon your Golden Sage is established, you can start harvesting. When harvesting sage, prune the plant by removing the outer stems, allowing the center to continue growing and producing new foliage.
A perennial in zones 7-9, and an annual staple in other areas, sage is a must-have for your garden. It’s a reliable herb that will provide you with abundant culinary possibilities while also adding a touch of beauty to your garden.
