Sage can make it through a NYS winter.
Rosemary can’t although I was surprised at the low temps it can survive.
It got down to 19 one night earlier in the fall and I expected that to be the end of it and it was still alive.
I dug it up and brought it in before we got buried in snow.
And right now, that’s where my garden is.
Speaking of sage last October I was in Denver area and I walked by this bush in a shopping center with blue blooms —looked like sage. Some of it bolted and I grabbed a few seed pods. Its one of my experiment seedlings going on now and I hope to plant it in spring. Hope to share a pic of it should it make it because I’m not 100% certain its sage—that’s the fun of experimenting with seeds.
