Sage Varieties (Organic) - Seed Kit Gift Box

Across the world, more than 900 varieties belong to the sage species (Salvia). Many of them are used for medicinal purposes, culinary herbs, or even ornamental plants. The leaves of sage plants have high contents of essential oils and tannins.
The most popular sage variety in Germany is garden sage. Garden sage originated in the Mediterranean region before it was introduced north of the Alps in the Middle Ages. Ever since garden sage has been valued as a medicinal plant and spice.

This organic seed kit contains 3 aromatic sage varieties:
