Garden Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a hardy, evergreen perennial herb prized for its soft, silvery-green leaves and earthy, slightly peppery flavor. Native to the Mediterranean, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Commonly used in savory dishes, especially poultry, stuffing, and sauces, sage also has traditional medicinal uses. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it’s ideal for herb gardens, borders, and containers, and attracts beneficial insects like bees.
