Garden Sage is indispensable for traditional Thanksgiving stuffing, Italian sausages, roasted chicken and pork, brown butter pasta sauces, and hearty soups. Use fresh leaves for the best flavor, or dry them for year-round use—the flavor intensifies when dried. Strip leaves from stems before adding to dishes, or tie whole sprigs into bouquet garni for easy removal. In the garden, plant in full sun with excellent drainage. Keep plants well-hydrated through the hottest parts of summer for a steady supply of supple, flavorful foliage.
