Sage - Salvia officinalis
Type: Perennial
Sage, or Salvia officinalis is known by a variety of common names: Garden sage, Common sage, Kitchen Sage, and is a small perennial evergreen plant with woody stems.
Native to the Mediterranean region, though it has naturalized in many places throughout the world, Sage has a long history of medicinal and culinary use, and in modern times as an ornamental garden plant.
Common Sage grows to approximately 60-70cm tall and wide, with lavender/violet flowers in late spring or summer. The leaves are oblong and grey-green in colour, with a textured surface on the upper side, and nearly white underneath due to the many short soft hairs.
Preferring light, well-drained soil and full sun, Sage will often flourish all year, and should have leaves to harvest for much of the year.
As a culinary herb, Sage has a slight peppery taste, and is used to flavour fatty meats in the form of stuffings and sauces, and also adds flavour to soft cheeses and pickles.
