Sage Purple

Purple Sage is a captivating cultivar revered for its richly colored and aromatic foliage. This variety of sage is a distinctive ornamental herb widely recognized for its stunning purple-tinged leaves.

The herb showcases elongated, ovate leaves with a deep green hue that transforms into shades of purple or burgundy, particularly along the leaf margins or undersides. This coloration intensifies with exposure to sunlight and as temperatures drop, lending the plant a striking and vibrant appearance in gardens or landscapes.

Similar to common sage, Purple Sage emits the classic sage fragrance when the leaves are gently rubbed or brushed. While it retains the aromatic properties of regular sage, its primary appeal often lies in its ornamental value rather than its culinary use. Nonetheless, the leaves can still be utilized in cooking, infusing dishes with a mild sage flavor.
