Purple Sage has quite a few features that I need to highlight.
Features:
1) Purple Sage is edible and very ornamental! Bonus!
2) The leaves are purple and greenish gray.
3) Purple Sage is relatively hardy even in PA which is good for me. Since 2009, I only had to replace my Purple Sage once.
4) Unlike some herbs, the stems at the base get woody but stems with the new growth are tender.
5) It is NOT a water guzzler.
6) This sage will reach 18 inches tall. Since I have had this plant for a number of years, I have to trim it about once a month because it really grows wide and tries to take over my herb garden.
7) Purple Sage pairs nicely with sausage, poultry, pork and eggs.
The last herb variety that we reviewed was Stevia.
