How to Grow Berggarten Sage

Cultivating Berggarten Sage is a rewarding endeavor that requires minimal effort. Plant this herb in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, ensuring proper drainage. While it can tolerate rocky soils, wet conditions should be strictly avoided to prevent root rot, which can be detrimental to the plant’s health.

Regular pruning of new growth is essential to maintain the plant’s health and appearance. However, caution should be exercised to avoid pruning into old woody growth, as this may stress the plant. Late fall pruning should also be avoided to protect the plant from winter cold.

With its adaptability to various growing conditions, Berggarten Sage is a versatile addition to any garden or landscape. Whether used in borders, rock gardens, or herb gardens, its compact growth habit and aromatic foliage make it a standout feature.
