Description
Again, straight from our garden, I love herbs, they are a haven and a heaven for butterflies and bees.Salvia officinalis (garden sage, common sage) is a perennial, evergreen subshrub, with woody stems, grayish leaves, and blue to purplish flowers. It has been grown for centuries in the Old World for its food and healing properties and was often described in old herbals for the many miraculous properties attributed to it. The specific epithet, officinalis, refers to the plant's medicinal use: the officina was the traditional storeroom of a monastery where herbs and medicines were stored!In Britain sage has for generations been listed as one of the essential herbs, along with parsley, rosemary and thyme.
