Sage
Common

Sage is an incredible culinary herb that deserves a place in any herb garden. This classic variety is highly productive, strong, and perennial, making it a reliable staple for years. While it’s famously delicious in Thanksgiving dishes, sage pairs beautifully with a variety of foods like beans, winter squash, and steak. Fry whole leaves until crispy and you’ll never look back. Years ago, when I first saw sage in bloom, I was struck by its beauty—it’s truly one of the prettiest plants around. Culinary sage not only elevates the kitchen but also deserves a spot in any ornamental garden.
