Clary Sage
3,55 $
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.
