Salvia officinalis is a member of the Lamiaceae family, known for its aromatic properties, drought tolerance and long-standing relationship with mankind.
The leaves of Salvia are grey-green, elongated, lance-shaped, rugged on the upper side, and nearly white underneath due to the many short soft hairs.
The flowers are small, tubular, and range from purple to lavender in color. They are arranged in spikes that rise above the foliage and bloom primarily in the late spring to early summer.
The Tale:
The binary name, officinalis, refers to the plant’s medicinal use—the officina was the traditional storeroom of a monastery where herbs and medicines were stored.
Additionally, for those color enthusiasts out there – the color sage comes from the color of the foliage of the common (is she common though?) sage.
The sage is sage.
Treated as a holy herb by the Romans, planted in monasteries under Charlemagne before becoming an indispensable herb of great renown during the Middle Ages.
A soap, a soup, a cleansing herb for the house and the mind, a toothpaste, an infusion that wards off the plague… whatever you needed, salvia would bring you your salvation.
Other Names:
Common sage, garden sage, golden sage, kitchen sage, true sage, culinary sage, Dalmatian sage, and broadleaf sage.
