Salvia Officinalis Purperea 2 Litre Pot

Salvia officinalis ‘Purpurea’

Common name: Purple Sage

Salvia officinalis ‘Purpurea’ is a semi-evergreen, aromatic subshrub prized for its striking purple-tinged foliage and edible leaves. A decorative twist on the classic culinary sage, it produces soft lilac-blue flowers in late spring to early summer, loved by bees and other pollinators.

This compact herb thrives in full sun and free-draining soil, making it ideal for herb gardens, borders, containers, or gravel planting. Regular clipping helps maintain its bushy shape and encourages fresh, colourful growth. Hardy in most UK gardens, especially in sheltered, sunny spots.

Ultimate height and spread:
60–70cm × 50–60cm
Position: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained, neutral to alkaline
Features: Aromatic edible foliage, purple leaves, pollinator-friendly, drought tolerant, ornamental and culinary use
