Fragrant Sage
16.76 ₪
Also known as Salvia dominica, this evergreen shrub (70 cm) is a sensory masterpiece with wrinkled, triangular leaves that emit a powerful, lingering scent.
In spring, it produces elegant spires of pale yellow-white flowers that draw in pollinators from across the garden.
It is a rugged, drought-tolerant choice that excels in rock gardens and Mediterranean landscapes where its silver-green foliage provides year-round interest.
שאלות ותשובות
How strong is the scent?
It is very potent and distinct—much more intense than common culinary sage. Simply brushing against the leaves releases the aroma into the air.
Can I use this for cooking?
While it is edible, its flavor is much stronger and more resinous than standard Sage. It is primarily used for its aromatic and ornamental qualities.
Does it need a lot of water?
No, this is a dry-climate specialist. Overwatering is the most common cause of failure; it needs well-drained soil and very little summer water.
Will it attract wildlife?
Yes, its spring flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and even sunbirds, making it a great addition to a biodiversity garden.
