Sage Seeds Botanical Name:  Salvia officinalis
Exotic Seed Pack
by DuneCraft

Sage is a small, evergreen subshrub with woody stems, grayish leaves, and blue to purplish flowers.  It is a member of the Mint family, native to the Mediterranean region and is often cultivated as a kitchen and medicinal herb.  As an herb, sage is considered to have a slight peppery flavor.  In Western cooking, it is used for flavouring fatty meats (especially as a marinade), cheeses, and some drinks.



The Latin name for sage, salvia, means “to heal".  Although the effectiveness of it is open to debate, it has been recommended at one time or another for virtually every ailment.  Modern evidence supports its effects as an antibiotic, antifungal, astringent, antispasmodic, estrogenic, hypoglycemic and tonic.  It is also often used externally for insect bites, throat, mouth, gum and skin infections.
 
Sage plants like to be kept moist and will grow best in sunlight.  Seeds will germinate in 1 to 3 weeks.  Instructions for planting and care are included on back of seed package.
