EXTRA INFORMATION:

The genus name Salvia, from which the common name derives, comes from the Latin "salvus", meaning "healthy."

Sage is native to southeastern Europe but cultivated and naturalized elsewhere. A perennial, it often grows to a foot or more in height and has a squarish stem. The leaves grow in pairs and are grayish green in color, slightly hairy, and strongly veined. The purplish flowers grow in whorls. In the garden, Sage does best in full sun and well-drained soil, with low to moderate amounts of water.

Sage leaves are a common culinary spice. They have a camphor-like, astringent flavor. The leaves and flowers can be candied.

In folkloric tradition, Sage is used to promote longevity and wisdom and to attract protection and prosperity.
