description_en: Genus of about 900 species of annuals, biennials, herbaceous and evergreen perennials, and shrubs, some rhizomatous or tuberous. Distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical regions (except in very hot, humid areas), they usually grow in sunny sites, including dry meadows, rocky slopes, scrub, light woodland, and moist grassland. They are frequently aromatic and often hairy; some species are very woolly, and others silver in appearance. The usually square stems bear opposite pairs of simple to pinnate, entire, toothed, notched, or scalloped leaves; basal leaves sometimes differ from stem leaves. Flowers are 2-lipped, the upper lips erect and hooded, the lower ones 2-toothed and more spreading. The calyces are sometimes colourful, and tubular to bell- or funnel-shaped; the often leaf-like, colourful bracts are ovate to diamond-shaped. The flowers are borne in panicles, or in axillary whorls on erect stems, forming more or less interrupted terminal spikes or racemes. Sages are effective in a sunny border, light woodland, or wildflower meadow. Annuals and perennials r, g own as annuals, provide brilliant colour for bedding, infilling, or containers; less hardy sages may be grown in a cool or temperate greenhouse, either in a border or in large containers. S. caespitosa is suitable for a scree bed or alpine house. Many species attract bees; some have culinary or medicinal uses.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost tender.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed as follows: annuals at 16-18°C (61-64°F) in mid-spring, biennials in containers in a cold frame in summer, and perennials in containers in a cold frame in spring; annuals and biennials may be sown in situ after all danger of frost has passed. Divide perennials in spring. For perennials and subshrubs, root basal or softwood cuttings in spring or early summer, or semi-ripe cuttings in late summer or autumn, with bottom heat.
pests_en: Slugs and snails will attack young growth, as well as the fleshy rhizomes of S. uliginosa. Under glass, aphids, red spider mites, whiteflies, and foot and root rots may be troublesome.
