Salvia officinalis purpurea Purple Garden Sage

 

Purple Sage in the garden.

Purple Garden Sage can be used just like regular Garden Sage. It rarely flowers which helps to keep it at more moderate height and from falling apart in the center. It looks great planted with gray leaved plants like Lavender. In fact, the two together make a great after shave!

Sage and Lavender After Shave Lotion:

2 cups witch hazel
2 tablespoons apple cider 
1 ounce dried lavender flowers
1ounce dried sage

Combine the ingredients in a glass jar and close with a lid for a week.
Shake daily. Remove the herbs and Enjoy!
