Struggling to Grow Sage Icterina

Hello all

I hope you are well.

I need some help, I am struggling to Grow Sage Icterina (Golden Sage).

I have now had 3 x Sage Icterina Plants and all of them have failed, also known as Died.

The Plants are in a South Facing Border, in Sandy Loam, so, relatively Free Draining and the Plants get Watered once a Week utilising Drip Irrigation.

I do not understand why this one Plant, out of everything, will not Thrive.

I have a Purple Sage in the same Border and that is Growing well.

I have Ordered, yet another, Sage Icterina, this Time in a 1L Pot, the previous Plants were in 9cm Pots so hopefully the extra size will help.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

I don't find it to be a typical sage, Kevin. The best specimen I ever had was growing in quite heavy clay and got a fair bit of water. It was also in shade for most of the day! It doesn't do well here with heat and drought as standard conditions. The only thing I can suggest is up the watering and do cuttings regularly so you've got replacements.
