Common Name: Sage
'Berggarten' Introduced to North America in the 17th century, Sage has been used over the centuries for a wide variety of medicinal purposes. Today, you will most likely get the most use out of it when you cook up a batch of Thanksgiving dressing, or in sausages, cheeses, and pork dishes. Sage is a shrubby evergreen perennial that forms many side branches of velvety-textured, wrinkled, gray-green leaves about 2 inches long. Spikes of 1/2-inch violet, pink to white flowers appear in summer. The plant matures to 24-32 inches high and 36 inches wide. Grow in well-drained to dry, neutral to alkaline soil in full sun. Sage will become woody and leaf out sparsely after about 4 years; it is best to remove the entire plant start a new specimen. |
 The "Thanksgiving Spice"! Sage is terrific in stuffing, cheese, and meat dishes, and is a main source of flavor in sausages |
