Our Feedback
Thank you for the careful delivery of herb plants. They arrived healthy and happy. I ordered without paper instructions. Could you let me have instructions online? I am not successful in finding them. Many thanks!

Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
This Product is Available Now.The young stems and foliage of Purple Sage are purple in colour and turn grey-green as they grow older. In Summer it produces purple-blue flowers. The leaves are slightly larger than those of common sage and have a marginally spicier flavour. All parts of the plant are strongly aromatic. Like its green relation, Purple Sage has many culinary and medicinal uses.
Throughout history sage has been thought to prolong life and good health. Salvia comes from the Latin 'salvare' - to heal. John Gerard the English herbalist describes sage as being 'singularly good for the head and brain, it quickeneth the senses and memory'.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
