The cautious column is calculated from the latest frost recorded in the period (1 May). Use it for tender crops you cannot re-sow.
The year in Wrocław
What can move the date
Replace the plant every four or five years — old sage goes woody, sparse and bitter no matter how you prune it. Take cuttings in early summer and you never have to buy another.
Final spacing: 45 × 60 cm. Soil: pH 6–7.5.
Direct-sow only once the soil holds 15°C or more — soil temperature decides germination, not the date.
