Salvia officinalis ‘Berggarten’
Common Sage |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.468.250
This selection of the Common Sage serves double duty in the garden, as both a culinary herb and an ornamental perennial. The grey-green foliage is larger and rounder than the usual type, forming a low evergreen mound. Spikes of violet-blue flowers appear in early summer. Excellent in mixed containers. May be wintered indoors in cold regions. Leaves may be used in cooking just the same as green-leaved Common Sage. Plants form a shrubby base and should be cut back in the spring to no less than 4 inches. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
