Sage

This is a lovely herb to have in the garden and goes well with a lot of dishes—check sage in the index of your favourite recipe books if you’re not convinced. It’s a hardy full-sun lover, and its blue flowers are good nectar producers. Personally, I don’t like the smell of sage in my garden, but don’t let that put you off, as it’s a great bee plant and a few leaves in burnt butter sauce are divine. Sage is happier in a garden bed, but will also be fine in a larger pot.

Sun: Full to part shade ´ Soil: Sandy, well drained ´ Planting: Pots and containers help control its spreading tendencies ´ Size: About 40 cm tall, depending on variety ´ Flowers: Spring–early summer
