Reaching around 1 m in height, it is native to the northern Mediterranean and is well suited to cottage gardens, herb borders and pollinator-friendly plantings. Once established, it is drought tolerant, thrives in poor soils and requires very little maintenance. The highly aromatic foliage and flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects throughout the flowering season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"1011\"\u003eClary Sage has a long history of use as both a culinary and medicinal herb and is widely cultivated for its fragrant essential oil. Traditionally, it has been used to support menstrual and menopausal health, soothe digestive discomfort, promote relaxation and ease feelings of stress and nervous tension. The leaves and flowers are edible and have been used to flavour foods, wines and liqueurs, while the essential oil is valued in perfumery and natural soaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eApproximately 250–300 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eApproximately 35 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1284\"\u003eTropics: April to July\u003cbr data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1151\"\u003eSubtropics: March to August\u003cbr data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1181\"\u003eMild climates: March to May or September to November\u003cbr data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003eCold climates: September to November after frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1666\"\u003eSow seed on the surface or cover lightly with 2–3 mm of fine seed-raising mix. Keep moist until germination. Transplant into a sunny position with well-drained soil, spacing plants 40–50 cm apart.
