Sage (common), Salvia officinalis
$5 per plant in 9cm pot
Oh sage, I do so love you and all of your cousins!
Common sage is a woody perennial that likes a nice sunny dry spot, in winter this is most important (the dry factor). You really ought to have it during winter too as it is a wonderful tea to have if you have a cold or gargle for sore throats. Of course it has all its culinary uses to boot.. grow lots and dry before the summers end
Grows well in containers.
Of the Salvia whanau I also have Purple sage, Tri-coloured sage, Varigated sage, Clary sage, Pineapple sage and White sage
