Common Sage 100 Seeds Salvia officinalis

Salvia officinalis, commonly known as common sage or garden sage, is a fragrant, evergreen perennial herb treasured for both its culinary and ornamental value. This attractive plant forms dense mounds of soft, gray-green, velvety leaves that release a rich, earthy aroma when touched. Growing approximately 18 to 30 inches tall and spreading 18 to 24 inches wide, sage produces spikes of beautiful lavender-blue flowers in late spring to early summer that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Its flavorful leaves are indispensable in the kitchen, adding a savory depth to meats, stuffing, soups, and roasted vegetables, while also being valued in traditional herbal remedies and tea preparations. Drought tolerant once established and thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Salvia officinalis is an excellent choice for herb gardens, cottage gardens, containers, and pollinator landscapes. Easy to grow and long-lived, this aromatic Mediterranean native brings year-round beauty, culinary usefulness, and delightful fragrance to any garden setting.
