Sage Variegated  (Berggarten) adds depth of flavour to any savoury dish – eggs, stews and poultry. Forming a dense, mounding shrub to 2’ high and wide, it fits nicely into any garden and can be kept almost indefinitely with an annual root pruning. Low-water, low-maintenance and beautifully fragrant – it’s a joy to grow. This variegated sport of ‘Berggarten’ has thinner, less fuzzy leaves edged irregularly in eye-catching pale yellow. Produces pretty purple blooms much loved by bees and butterflies.

    About the Sage Berggarten Variegata

    Care Instructions

    Sage enjoy a free draining soil, not to be waterlogged. If unsure, plant in a raised bed or container. Water well after planting, then once established, water as normal. If in containers, soil may dry out quicker, so aim to keep the soil slightly moist.

    Position, sunlight and more

    Sage loves a warm, sheltered spot in full sun. Alternatively, a bright windowsill.

    Height and Spread

    Sage can grow up to 60-90cm and spread up to 100cm.

    Feeding, Pruning & more

    Feeding - Lay a mulch of compost to help stop soil, from drying out.
    Pruning - Deadhead after flowering to encourage new shoots and fresh leaves. Parent plant can be hard pruned annually.
    Propagation - Take cuttings in early summer, to get new free plants, whilst benefiting the parent plant too.

    Our pot & plant size explained

    At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

    We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

    Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

    Starter Plant (Plug Plant)

    Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.
