Tricolor sage (Salvia officinalis 'Tricolor') is a stunning cultivar of common sage with gray-green leaves irregularly edged and splashed with cream and pink-purple. It forms a compact, woody-based mound 12-18 inches tall, with spikes of lavender-blue flowers in early summer. The flavor is milder than standard sage.
Full sun, well-drained, alkaline soil. Drought-tolerant once established. Use as ornamental edging, in containers, herb gardens. Leaves flavor poultry, stuffing, sausages, butter. Less hardy than species (USDA zones 6-9); protect in winter or grow as annual. Prune after flowering to maintain shape.
