Allen Chickering Sage plant and care

When to Plant: 

The best time to plant sage is in the spring after the last frost has passed. Sage can also be planted in the fall, as long as you give the plant enough time to establish itself before the first frost hits. 

Where to Plant: 

Sage prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. When choosing a spot for your sage, make sure the soil is well-draining. Sage will not do well in soggy or waterlogged soil.

How to Plant: 

To plant your sage, dig a hole that is twice as wide as the plant’s root ball and just as deep. Gently loosen the roots before placing the plant in the hole.

Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with soil and water thoroughly. Mulch around the base of the plant to help keep the soil moist and discourage weeds from growing. 

How to Care:

• Light and Temperature: Salvia Allen Chickering is a drought-tolerant plant that prefers the full sun.
• Watering and Humidity: Low
• Fertilizer: Not much necessary.
• Soil: It grows well in sandy, loam, and rocky soil with neutral ph and average soil conditions.
• Pruning: Prune the plants back by one-third of their height in late winter or early spring. This will encourage new growth and prevent the plants from becoming leggy.
