Process :
1. Prepare the soil. Sage grows well in rich clay loam that drains well and is rich in nitrogen.
2. Go easy with watering. When the sage plants are small, you should mist them with water in order to keep the soil moist.
3. Provide adequate sunlight. Ideally, sage plants should grow in full sun, but they will also survive in light shade in hotter areas.
4. Prune the sage in early spring. Prune the older, woodier stems in early spring.
5. Prevent mildew. Mildew is one of the only problems sage-growers have to deal with. You can avoid it by watching the plants carefully during hot, humid weather and by thinning the plants regularly to increase air circulation.
