The listing, Heirloom Clary Sage Seeds - Medicinal Herb (organically grown) has ended.

20 seeds. (please note I SHIP ON MONDAYS only)

This biennial blooms summer to early fall. 3' - 4' tall. Likes full sun yet will tolerate some shade. Can tolerate some cold but is only hardy to Zone 6 and possibly protected areas of Zone 5. Does nicely in partial shade in hotter climates.

Attracts honeybees and other pollinators.

Purplish blue flowers grow in tall bushy spires and are strongly scented with a high resin content. The entire plant releases a pleasant fragrance in the garden.

Both leaves and flowers are edible.

Flowers are have a sweet nectar with an unusual aromatic flavor. They are often candied or dipped in batter and fried as a delicious fritter.

Leaves can grow to be 6-8" dish size and can be used in cooking. They are very mild and do not have the common sage flavor that a garden sage has.

A common dish served In Victorian times was that of the whole, large leaves dipped in four and egg then
sautéed til golden brown.

A delicious tea is made from both the leaves and flowers which has a calming, uplifting effect.

Clary Sage is best known for its therapeutic properties; antidepressant, antiphlogistic, anti-spasmodic, aphrodisiac, deodorant, emmenagogue, hypotensive, nervine, sedative, tonic and uterine.

100% organically grown. I use only organic compost and fertilizers. NO chemicals or pesticides ever used in my garden!
