Sage is a fragrant, woody perennial herb with soft, gray-green, fuzzy oblong leaves and a strong earthy, peppery, and slightly bitter aroma. The leaves offer a savory, warming flavor that pairs beautifully with rich foods. It is excellent for seasoning roasted meats, poultry, stuffing, sausages, soups, stews, and compound butters. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it is very drought-tolerant once established, thrives in our hot, dry summers and alkaline soils with excellent drainage and full sun, and remains evergreen through mild winters. It's great for containers. Its low-maintenance nature, attractive foliage, and ability to attract pollinators while providing abundant fresh or dried leaves year after year make it an essential herb for any kitchen garden.
