Check out this highly attractive variety of Sage with gorgeous, golden foliage. We just love how this variety looks throughout the year, but it's evergreen foliage really comes into its own during autumn and winter as it provides a gorgeous splash of colour within the kitchen garden. It's got all of the scent, texture and taste that we love from classic varieties of sage, just with a little something special that's sure to put a smile on your face. Sage pairs perfectly with a wide range of dishes, whether you opt to fry it in some butter to top a pasta dish, or add it into a hearty winter stew, it packs a punch of flavour and gets your creative juices flowing. Having plants of your own will mean you benefit from vast amounts of sensual leaves throughout the spring, summer and autumn, whilst if you're clever with your methods of preservations you'll be able to keep some fragrant leaves back to keep you going through those cold, dark months of the year.
