Salvia officinalisBerggarten Sage, also referred to as 'Garden' Sage is simply a smaller version of the species; a perfect ornamental herb as well as a
culinary herb for herb gardening. Fresh or dried, Garden Sage provides any dish with the solid and robust flavor of sage especially poultry, eggs, fish and breads.
A "sage" is a wise person and historically Sage has been thought to encourage memory and wisdom. This hardy variety, like other Sages, is a member of the
Mint family and should be pruned back yearly to encourage healthier growth.
'Garden' is a distinctive German cultivar of Salvia officinalis with a
compact, dense habit and broad, gray-green rounded leaves. This gorgeous evergreen will thrive in full sun and prefers well drained
soil. It is small and works well in the front of a border or
container especially when mixed with contrasting colors.
