  • Salvia officinalis ‘Purpurascens,’ known as purple sage, is a striking, evergreen herb. Its leaves, a deep purple, are highly valued for their fragrance. This colourful foliage offers year-round interest, whether in a herb garden, as a border, or in a container on the patio. The leaves are also a kitchen essential, ideal for flavouring meats, vegetables, and sauces. During late spring to early summer, it may also produce small, attractive flowers that draw in pollinators.

  • This variety develops into a compact, bushy plant, making it both visually appealing and practical. It's a popular choice for mixed planting schemes and dedicated herb gardens. Purple sage is resilient and drought-tolerant once established, making it easy to grow and long-lasting, providing both beauty and flavor.

  • Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

    • Light Required Full sun

    Watering Water during establishment; drought tolerant once established. Avoid waterlogged soil.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, as sage dislikes wet or heavy conditions. Water moderately until established, then sparingly. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh, colourful growth.
