Description
Decorative & fragrant: Tricolour Sage (Salvia officinalis Tricolour) is a half-hardy evergreen sub shrub with aromatic, variegated foliage and purple blue flowers. It attracts bees, butterflies, and adds vibrant colour to beds, borders, and containers.
Culinary and health uses: The leaves have a flavour reminiscent of rosemary and pine with citrus hints, making them ideal for seasoning meats especially pork and poultry, sauces, salads, and Italian dishes. Rich in vitamins A and C, it offers both ornamental and practical value.
Easy to grow and maintain: Suited to cottage gardens, coastal areas, and well-draining soils in sun or partial shade. Drought tolerant once established, it benefits from light spring pruning, drying between waterings, and keeping soil dry in winter to prevent root rot.
