Clary sage is a perennial plant that is valued both for its culinary and ornemental qualities. The flowers are white with some purplish blue undertones, and are an absolute delight for bees. It is used just like common sage, but some recommend using clary sage for more extended uses. In popular medicine, the leaves are used to heal wounds. Clary sage has been grown since Antiquity for its medicinal properties.
This plant only starts flowering on the second year, but it is well worth the wait to see the carpenter bees and hawk-moths feast on the blooms.

This herb is commonly used in Acadian traditional cooking. It should therefore not be a surprised that, through time, they developed their own summer savory variety.
The first records of 'Ancienne d'Acadie' summer savory go back to Mr. Jean Prudent Robichaud in Burnt Churchill, Nouveau-Brunswick, at the end of the 19th Century. He received the seeds from a local indigenous woman. His family then grew the plant over several generations.
Given that this variety has had to adapt to the harsh and windy Eastern Canadian climate, it became stockier and hardier than common summer savory. The flavor is also more distinct.
