    hello,

    I've kept sage for quite some time, saw it flowering a lot of times etc. but never got any more plants.
    I've read it propagates by cuttings and seeds, but my question is where are the seeds and why don't they self sown, if they fall in the soil?

    I tried to take some pictures to the flower and its "fruit".. it is kinda like a knob, some pieces can be broken off, but are these supposed to be seeds or not?

    thanks

    I don't know what you have there. I've grown sage for years, but I normally cut off the blossoms as soon as they appear. It is easy to propagate by layering. Just bend any shoot down to the ground and bury it slightly. It will root readily and produce a new plant.
