Salvia officinalis 'Tricolor'

Tricolor Garden Sage

Upright perennial herb with fragrant lavender blue flowers in summer. Grows 15-18 inches in sunny well drained soil. Variegated leaves that are used in culinary seasoning. Tricolor Garden Sage leaves that receive insufficient amounts of sun do not develop the pink margins. These areas would be white. In the sun these areas color, kind of like a sunburn. This variegation also makes it more susceptible to cold weather damage.
