Enjoying the traditional flavour of Sage that we know and love, but with gorgeous purple foliage, this shows topping herb is a must for your herb patch.  Offering a fantastic bit of colour in your garden heading into the winter months as well as a delicious scent all summer long. It does a great job of attracting pollinators and garden enthusiasts alike, and is also quite low maintenance. Whether you choose to dehydrate the leaves to create your own collection of homegrown herb pots, mix it into rich butters and add to steaks or garlic bread, or simply fry it up to top off a pasta dish, the versatility of sage is almost endless.

If you're looking for more information on how to grow sage, our in-depth guide covers a range of topics from propagation and pruning to planting positions and more to ensure your growing journey goes smoothly once your plants arrive. These plants quickly grow into big, beautiful plants from our 9cm pots and fill spaces with pretty purple colours. They're perfect planted up with other classics such as rosemary and thyme, as well as with other sage varieties such as blackcurrant and pineapple sages.
