Overview

Purple sage combines splendidly with onion to make stuffings for rich meat dishes. It’s also great in home-made sausages where its peppery flavour adds a delightful kick.

To enjoy the best flavour, pick the leaves before the plants begin to flower. They will keep fresh for up to a week in an airtight bag in the fridge and can be dried for storage in a jar.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
