Water the plants thoroughly and allow to drain before moving the pot to its final position.
Kevin Smith says...
This display is pretty and productive, with the sage being perfect for edible pickings. Harvest leaves sparingly so the display doesn’t look depleted, adding them to roasts and hearty stews.
