Hi guys, I live in montreal and the snow is on its way. I have a raised bed with mint and sage in it. I'm not too worried about the mint. But not sure if the sage will come back next year. Should i protect it with a polystyrene cover? thanks for the advice
Is the Sage the Salvia officinalis (Common Sage, Kitchen Sage) It is hardy up to Zone 4 with protection. The ornamental Salvia's (Sages) are either perennial or annual depending on which one it is.
The box should work, a carboard box covered with towels or sheets works too. Be sure to water the plant before the ground freezes, the ice will insulate the roots from further damage as the temps drop below freezing and gives the plants moisture to live on as well.
