It's really interesting that all three photos of this plant in the PDB have different colouring
Yours is probably the most true to the accepted version (a lovely plant btw, it seems to have adapted from the med to Scotland very well!), mine has much more purple in it and badseeds has the variegation reversed - and has much more cream in it.

Am editing this as i didn't realise you've just joined us at DG
A warm welcome from one UK member to another. I hope you will get as much pleasure from this site and the friendly people here as i have. It's a great environment to share knowledge, ideas and humour.

Just noticed your message. I also have a purple variegated variety. When the weather turns I will submit a photo. I have many sage plants in my garden and all thrive.
