Green Sage
Green Sage is the most common sage available. This variety is a perennial that does well with a spring planting. Size of green sage can vary, however, with plants ranging from 12 to 36 inches tall. This means that, when adding your transplants, about 24 inches of space should be put between each. The soil, in addition, needs to be well-drained in a pot or garden and should have a pH of 7.
