Kitchen Sage
Kitchen sage is often used in cooking. It is also known as garden sage or culinary sage. It grows as a shrub-like plant with woody stems. The wide, gray-green leaves are coarse-textured and very fragrant when rubbed.
In mid-summer, clusters of purple-colored flowers bloom along an upright stalk. Sage is a drought and heat tolerant plant. Not only is it a beautiful ornamental, but adds an edible element to the landscape, too.
