Sage, 'Berggarten' (Salvia officinalis 'Berggarten') S110 Perennial 2' Full Sun Hardy/Evergreen Blue C,M,O $5.00
An excellent culinary sage in that it rarely blooms, thereby providing an abundance of leaves continuously. Very low growing, dense, compact habit with large, round leaves. Comes from the Berggarten Botanic Garden in Germany. Excellent choice for a pot!

Sage, Cleveland's / Blue Sage - Out of Stock
(Salvia clevelandii) S130
Perennial 4' Full Sun Tender/Evergreen Blue C,F,M,O $5.75

This delightfully fragrant sage is a California native, where its perfume scents the desert. Light gray foliage and very showy, blue, pom-pom like flowers. One of the few sages which freely releases its odor without being bruised or rubbed. Put some bloom stalks in an indoor arrangement and perfume the entire house! The dried leaves are great in potpourris. Gets its name from the Cleveland National Forest in Southern California. Highly recommended!

Sage, Fruit Scented (Salvia dorisiana) S140 Perennial 3' Full Sun Tender/Evergreen Lavender C,F,O,T $6.75
Fruit scented sage is one of the best smelling plants one could ever grow. Visitors to our garden find it irresistible. The large, lime green, heart-shaped leaves smell of sweet tropical fruit. It's excellent in potpourris, and makes an interesting tea. Keep it cut back to promote bushy growth. Highly recommended!

"I had almost given up on ordering plants by mail because so often they arrived molded, dry or dead. But my box of herbs from Lingle's arrived in perfect condition--the best ever--and are already in their new garden beds flourishing. Thank you."

Sage, Judean / Candlestick Sage
(Salvia judaica) S155
Perennial 3' Full Sun Tender/Evergreen Purple O $45.00

This in one of the rarest, and most significant sages in the world! Judean sage, as documented in Moldenke's Plants of the Bible, is the sage after which the traditional Jewish symbol of the menorah was patterned. The plant's inflorescence, when pressed flat, has almost the exact shape and form of the seven-branched candlestick of the Temple. With great effort we were able to acquire only 12 seeds from Israel, and have painstakingly propagated this plant over the last few years to produce a limited quantity of plants available this year. To our knowledge, Lingle's is the only nursery offering this plant in America.
