I have a sage plant that is grown for leaves/spice use. It has beautiful flowers on it right now. What do I do to it to make sure I can get the leaves for dressing/stuffing come this fall? Sorry, I'm a novice at this plant, and I want to do the right thing.

If I need to purchase another plant, I need to know now so hopefully I can find one.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, MoonHowl. One site says pick after flowering, one says don't pick after flowering. I have enough from last year, so I guess I won't pick this year. And next year I'll purchase a new plant so everything will continue.

I truly appreciate your response to me. --Pat

More than welcome Pat. I usually try for 3 links...as you can see some info contradicts, but the general care use info is all pretty much consistant.
