Purple Sage 'Purpurascens'

Sage has become a very well-known sight in the kitchen. This extra ornamental variety has purple-grey leaves with beautiful blue labiate flowers, which are very popular with bees. The plants have a wonderful fragrance; wonderfully fragrant plants are perennial and winter-hardy. Young leaves and the flowers can be eaten raw: delicious in salads. Sage is widely applicable in sauces, with meat and fish, in sage cookies and sage flour. A medicinal tea can be made from it for, for example, inflamed gums (rinse and spit out), many other medicinal applications on, among other things, the pfaf-website. Speaking of teeth: you can clean your teeth very well with the older leaves!
