Description
Sage, also known as Common Sage or Garden Sage, is a perennial that grows to a height of 3 feet with blue-violet blooms in summer. Sage was used medicinally by ancient societies to increase fertility, stop bleeding, heal minor skin wounds, treat hoarseness or cough, and improve memory function. This drought tolerant herb thrives with heat, light and well-draining soil. Sage is used medicinally for digestive problems, including loss of appetite, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn. It also reduces overproduction of perspiration and saliva; and is useful for depression, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s disease. As a culinary herb, the plant’s savory leaves can be used fresh or dried for seasoning and teas, and the flowers are edible. Download our Sage Plant PDF Reference sheet.
