Sage Seeds (Salvia): Diverse, Fragrant and Full of Character

In our range you will find a carefully selected choice of open-pollinated sage species suitable for beds, balconies and herb gardens. Whether as a seasoning, tea herb, medicinal plant, flowering perennial or special scented plant - sage is always an enrichment for gardens where practical value and plant character should come together.

The best-known representative is common sage (Salvia officinalis). It is regarded as a classic culinary and medicinal herb with a strong, spicy aroma and grey-green, aromatic foliage. In the kitchen, it is used sparingly for savoury dishes, butter, vegetables, meat and Mediterranean recipes. At the same time, it is one of the traditional herbs of the home apothecary and has been associated with tea and herbal preparations for centuries.

However, the genus Salvia extends far beyond classic garden sage. Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulifolia) brings its own fine fragrance and aroma profile. White sage (Salvia apiana) is mainly known as a scented and incense plant and is better suited to sheltered, warm locations or pot cultivation. Chia (Salvia hispanica) shows a completely different side of the genus: here, the edible seeds are the focus.

Sage species also offer plenty of variety for flower-rich plantings. Annual clary (Salvia viridis) stands out with its decorative bracts and is suitable for beds, cut flowers and dried bouquets. Other ornamental and perennial sage species bring colour, structure and long flowering periods to sunny plantings. Many Salvia species form lipped flowers that are readily visited by bees, bumblebees and other pollinators.

When buying sage seeds, it is worth looking at the exact species name. Salvia officinalis is the first choice for the kitchen, tea and classic herb beds. Salvia hispanica stands for chia and edible seeds. Salvia apiana belongs to the special scented and incense plants, while annual, ornamental and perennial sages are valued above all for their floral effect, fragrance and value for insects.
