Genuine Livingston® seeds — imported from the USA. Bred and selected in the United States and packed for The Garden by Chanan Din, Lahore. Non-GMO. Every lot is germination-tested here before it goes on sale.
Grow your own sage (Salvia officinalis) — soft grey-green leaves with a warm, slightly resinous flavour that stands up to fat and to long cooking. A woody Mediterranean perennial that gets better with age and asks for almost nothing beyond sun and sharp drainage.
We stock this variety from more than one American seed house. This listing is the Livingston® packet; the Ferry-Morse® version is listed separately.
Growing guide & FAQs
Growing guide for Pakistan
- When to sow: September to November, or February to March, in the plains. It establishes best in mild weather.
- Sowing: Very fine seed. Scatter thinly on the surface of a free-draining mix, press down and barely cover. Keep it just moist — thyme seedlings rot far more easily than they dry out.
- Soil: Poor, gritty, sharply drained ground. Rich soil and heavy manure give you soft growth and weak flavour. This is a herb that rewards neglect.
- Water: Sparingly once established. Let the surface dry between waterings — overwatering kills more thyme in Pakistan than heat ever does.
- Position: Full sun. It takes the summer heat happily once its roots are down.
- Harvest: Snip sprigs as needed, never more than a third of the plant at a time. Trim lightly after flowering to stop it going woody in the middle.
Frequently asked questions
Will this grow in a pot?
Yes. A 25 cm pot with gritty, free-draining compost, in full sun. Sage hates sitting wet far more than it minds being dry.
How many seeds are in the packet?
Enough for a home garden bed or a run of pots. Sow a few more than you need and keep the strongest seedlings.
Is the seed non-GMO?
Yes. Every variety in this range is non-GMO.
Do you deliver outside Lahore?
Yes — nationwide, cash on delivery available.
