Dalmatian
Aromatic and richly aromatic from the first pinch of foliage, Dalmatian Sage unfurls with velvety, broad leaves that feel substantial yet supple in the hand. The flavor is classic sage—cool, herbal, and deeply savory—ideal for roasting-style infusions, robust sauces, and fragrant fresh garnishes that perfume the garden as you harvest. Grow it for its steady, upright habit and dependable leaf production, with a mature, silvery-green presence that’s as beautiful as it is flavorful.
