Growing up to 3 feet tall, sage gives off a powerful, distinctive fragrance. This thickly branching, shrub-like plant produces dense shoots with velvety gray-green leaves. Sage should be planted in rich, well-drained soil in a sunny location.
Sage is native to the Mediterranean region. Its name comes from the Latin salvare, which roughly translates as "to rescue" or "to heal."
Uses: sage tea, sage vinegar, spice and a sage pillow.
