Salvia officinalis

Sage is traditional addition to stuffing for poultry and pork, and in sausages.  It also adds flavour to cheese dishes and herb butters.  As a tea, it is a general tonic, aiding digestion, relieving coughs and colds, and enhancing concentration.  As a gargle, it helps soothe and disinfect sore throats and ulcers.  Full sun, free-draining soil, and trim regularly to prevent excessive woodiness.  60cm H x 80cm W.
