Who says your herb garden has to have the same old boring varieties year after year with no contrast or intrigue? We certainly do not! Golden Garden Sage Plant is the culinary herb that also brings an ornamental flare to your herb or vegetable garden. Salvia officinalis ‘icterina’, or Golden Garden Sage Plant, has an incredibly unique looking and vibrant chartreuse variegation that sets it apart from any other garden sages. Golden Garden Sage Plant can be used culinarily to flavor soups and stews or as an attractive garnish. This shrub-like plant with an attractive habit is perennial from zone 7 - 9. Golden Garden Sage can produce soft lilac-colored flowers later in summer. 

Golden Garden Sage Plant Care  

Plant Golden Garden Sage Plant in early spring after the last threat of frost. Plant in sandy, well-drained soil with a pH from 6-7. Golden Garden Sage Plant prefers a full-sun or a part-shade location. Split and divide large mature plants in the spring after the last frost and transplant the divisions. Mulch plants heavily in the fall to insulate the crown and roots for the winter. Cut back Golden Garden Sage Plants in late winter or very early spring to remove old growth and prepare for the new growing season. 

Growing Golden Garden Sage Plant 

Golden Garden Sage Plants are best grown from cuttings or small starter plants; they are difficult to start from seeds. Cuttings take at least 4 weeks to root, and young plants will take 4 - 6 weeks from transplanting to establish and begin to mature. Golden Garden Sage plants can grow up to 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Space plants 2 - 3 feet apart at the time of planting. With adequate sunlight, Golden Garden Sage Plant can be grown indoors in containers.  

Golden Garden Sage Plant loves to be planted outdoors in a well-drained herb, vegetable, or even ornamental garden. They are great container plants and would act as the filler role in a mixed combination planter. If potted separately, provide a 12-inch pot with a drainage hole. If planting into a combination container, choose a larger pot from 14 - 16 inches in diameter. If initially provided the correct size pot, Golden Garden Sage will not likely need repotting in the growing season. Water containers thoroughly when the soil is dry. 

Watering Golden Garden Sage Plant

Golden Garden Sage Plant has lower water needs and is somewhat drought tolerant. Allow soil to dry between waterings and do not overwater. 

Feeding Golden Garden Sage

Golden Garden Sage Plant has lower fertilizer needs; fertilize once or twice a year. Add compost or a slow-release, granular fertilizer at the time of planting in the spring.
