Sage 'Salvador'
Sage 'Salvador' pairs well with other intense flavours in the kitchen or can be used as tea. It prefers warm, sheltered locations with soils that are rich in calcium. Is drought-tolerant and winters well. Young plants grow slowly. Grows to a height of 50-70 cm. A strong trimming in the following year encourages many new shoots and a bushy growth habit.
