Salvia officinalis 'Tricolor' 10.5cm

Salvia officinalis 'Tricolor' is a beautifully ornamental variety of culinary sage, celebrated for its colourful, variegated foliage. The softly textured leaves display a unique blend of green, creamy white, and flushed pink tones, offering year-round visual interest in herb gardens, borders, or containers. Though highly decorative, the leaves are also edible and aromatic, bringing both flavour and fragrance to the garden and kitchen alike.

In late spring to early summer, this hardy perennial produces delicate spikes of violet-blue flowers that contrast beautifully with the foliage and attract a range of pollinators, especially bees. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Tricolor’ is drought-tolerant once established and a great addition to Mediterranean-style or wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Its compact, bushy habit makes it ideal for small spaces or as an eye-catching feature in mixed herb planters.
