Sage Herb Seeds

Approx 20 seeds in the pack 

Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a classic culinary and medicinal herb prized for its fragrant, grey-green leaves and earthy flavor. It’s a perennial herb that grows well in pots, herb gardens, and borders — perfect for home gardeners who love growing their own kitchen herbs.

Sage leaves are widely used to flavor meats, sauces, teas, and herbal remedies. The plant also produces lovely purple-blue flowers that attract bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

This herb is drought-tolerant, hardy, and low-maintenance, thriving easily in Pakistan’s climate once established.
