Blackcurrant & Sage
- Product number: 832774.1
- Origin: Central and South America
- Latin: Salvia x jamensis
Fantastically flowering sage, in shades of pink and red with possible intermediate colours. The flowers are much loved for their slightly sweet taste with a blackcurrant (cherry) nuance. The leaves are quite bitter, but after a milk infusion (for example, for making ice cream), this bitterness disappears and gives way to a herbaceous sage flavour. Hardy, provided it is not too wet.
