Sage

Salvia Officinalis, as the Latin name implies, is the original aromatic foliage used for centuries to flavour stuffing, meats and even make sage tea. of course, nothing says stuffing like Sage.

Besides the traditional use, it is good with cheese and is often combined with thyme for use with beans and in soups and it works well with fruits in vinegars. The flowers make an attractive garnish in salads, butters, soft cheeses, and ice cubes.

Sage rivals many of its ornamental Salvia cousins during its three to four week bloom period. The flowers of common sage are extremely attractive to butterflies and bees. It is suitable for herb gardens, container gardening, perennial gardens, and cottage gardens and  it’s light blue, edible flowers and grey-green foliage help it combine well with other plants in a flower border or container.
