‘Bergartten’ is a variety of sage that is prized for its drought tolerance, its large, round silver-blue leaves and soft blooms in the summer.
As a sage, its foliage is strongly aromatic and is frequently used fresh or dried in cooking as a seasoning. But be careful – it is one of the more powerful sages, so use it parsimoniously!
And it is a sun-loving plant.
As a member of the mint family, it is highly attractive to bees and butterflies.
TIPS: Salvia really do not enjoy soggy roots so make sure that your windowbox/gardenbox/soil is well-draining.
The Tale:
The name ‘Berggarten’ refers to ‘mountain garden’ and indicates the area in which this plant was grown on a German garden estate as an ornamental sage.
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.
