Well, it's getting no better. I have watered it but it continues to wilt.

Sorry about your sage plants Marb. My guess would be that they might have been too wet, maybe you accidently kill them with kindness? All my sages are pretty much neglected in pots and frequently dry right out, they seem to do quite well under those conditions weirdly
Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

My soil looks like dust where mine grow. They are more established than marb’s were …but never get watered unless they droop.
Your soil looks very dark and rich marb?

The rosemary is positively thriving, so I'd say that's why the sage is not. Rosemary produces chemical compounds that inhibit the growth of competing plants. In open ground they would probably be OK together, but confined in a pot, the rosemary is eliminating competitors.
Dig out the sage, cut it back to some of those tiny healthy shoots, and give it a home of its own.

Thanks folks. I didn't know that about rosemary. I did dig it out before I read this so perhaps I might save it. Put it in some mediocre soil in its own pit. The roots were very healthy so not root rot or overwatered. I just get so frustrated with Sage.Last edited by Marb67; 29-08-2025, 10:08 PM.Comment
