Description

Salvia officinalis, aptly named in Latin, is the original aromatic foliage employed for centuries to enhance the flavours of stuffing, meats, and craft sage tea. Garden Sage, a classic choice, competes favourably with its ornamental Salvia relatives during its three to four-week blooming phase. The common sages flowers prove exceptionally alluring to butterflies and bees. While various sage varieties boast differently coloured flowers and even variegated leaves (some suitable for culinary use), none match the durability of common sage. Ideal for herb gardens, container gardening, perennial gardens, and cottage gardens.
