This is how the sowing succeeds

When is the best time to sow meadow sage?

This is how sowing works

• Loosen the earth
• mix with sand if necessary
• Scatter seeds
• cover with earth
• pour on
• separate later

Loosen the soil at the desired Location and make sure that no waterlogging can occur.

Spread the seeds over a wide area or thinly in rows. Then cover the seed site with a thin layer of soil and carefully water it.

After emergence, prick the meadow sage at a planting distance of 30 to 50 centimeters. The plants look very nice if you add individual meadow sage plants Perennial bed set.

Meadow sage needs a very sunny location. The wild plant hardly grows in shady locations. Above all, it then forms only a few, sterile flowers.
