Herb Sage Salvia officinalis

Sage

This holiday herb has been used for medicinal and culinary  purposes for ages, making it a “must have” in any garden. Named the “Herb of the Year” in 2001, sage is a fragrant, bushy plant that rarely grows above 2-3’.  Its pale green leaves range about 2” long and ½” across blooming in late summer. This perennial thrives in sunny locations with very well-drained soil. Young plants, however, need a steady amount of moisture until they are   established. Medicinally, Sage is used in teas to soothe sore throats and coughs as well as the treatment of sprains, swelling, ulcers and  bleeding. The medicinal uses are practically endless.
