STRIKING AND fragrant, this brings a splash of colour to herb gardens with its vibrant, purplish leaves.
Category: Herbs
(Perennial)
An upright perennial with purple leaves, gradually turning green/grey with a soft texture when them mature. Looks stunning planted next to Golden Sage in your herb garden. Culinary uses are many, especially good with pork, poultry, stews and perfect for Italian classic of Sage butter sauce.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, in full sun.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and then only when the soil feels dry.
Height & Spread:
40 – 50cm × 30 – 60cm.
Harvesting
Harvest leaves using scissors or fingertips, ideally in the morning when the essential oils are most potent. Regular harvesting encourages new growth, but avoid taking more than a third of the plant at a time to ensure continuous growth.
