Sage is a highly versatile herb and here at Season we have grown three types that offer slightly different qualities.
The main difference being the colour of the leaves: classic Sage is light green, Purple Sage has a purple hue and Tricolour Sage provides a light dusting of pink as well as purple.
Earthy, minty, citrusy and a little musky, Sage works well to add flavour to meats and potatoes. Purple Sage has a rich savoury quality to it and can be added to soups and stews.
Finally, Tricolour Sage has a slightly more rosemary and pine taste. All varieties grow well in containers and can decorate your kitchen garden both indoors and outdoors.
