Nice-looking, provides color and texture contrast. I've only used it in cooking once or twice. Doesn't taste quite as good as your usual kitchen sage, but it'll do.
Vigorous without being invasive, at least in my environment.

Thrives in fertile, well-drained locations. Use leaves fresh, or dry and keep in an airtight container. Flowers are lavender-purple. Great bedding or container plant.

Great plant for filling in the herb garden. It spills over the edges of the flowerbeds nicely, but doesn't get lanky or flop like other sages. Nice in Thanksgiving dressing.
