Berggarten
Fragrant, velvety leaves unfurl in a dense, upright habit, releasing a cool, herbal perfume the moment you brush past the plants. Berggarten sage forms broad, softly crinkled foliage with a rich, savory depth—ideal for roasting-style flavoring, hearty sauces, and slow-simmered dishes, as well as drying for year-round use. Grow it for its dependable, garden-worthy texture and its bold, aromatic character at peak maturity.
