Umuthi Sage Herb Seeds (Salvia officinalis) grow hardy, aromatic plants with soft, silvery-green leaves and a warm, savoury flavour. A classic for poultry, stuffings and pan sauces, sage also shines with roasted veg and meats, and looks beautiful in pots and borders. This perennial prefers full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding light care with fragrant, long-lived plants.
♡ Why we love it: Tough, drought-tolerant once established and generous with flavour. Fresh sprigs elevate simple roasts and tray bakes, and the plants bring year-round texture to the herb patch.
