This herb ranges in color from dark green to a bright green, has flat leaves and is used all around the world! Deeply water about once a week and allow excess moisture to drain well!
There is no doubt this plant is definitely used more for its looks rather culinary purposes but it can be used the same as regular sage!
This herb actually has more than one use! Coriander is commonly used to add flavor to international dishes. When you pinch the leaves off you get cilantro, which goes great in many dishes and salsas!
Purple sage, like many other varieties, has many purposes! You may taste hints of rosemary, pine and citrus. However, unlike other sage, this variety is extremely drought resistant and will need little- no watering!
