Salvia officinalis Purpurascens

Supplied in a growers pot which has a width of 9cm

Combines splendidly with onion to make a sensational stuffing for pork and poultry. It's also great in home-made sausages, where its slightly peppery flavour adds a delightful kick. Use fresh or dried leaves.

Best grown in light, well drained soil, in full sun or light shade
