Introduced to North America in the 17th century, Sage is one of the essential herbs and can be used to enhance virtually any dish. It is used in sausages, poultry, meat, bread, dressings, vegetables, omelets and stuffing. Sage has attractive dusty gray-green foliage and has a smoky, woodsy taste and aroma. Fragrant leaves are also used in potpourri and to make smudge sticks. This herb can be grown in containers and is good for attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden.
