Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, Sage thrives in warm climates and provides year-round beauty and utility.

Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used to support digestion, memory, and overall wellness, Sage is rich in antioxidants and essential oils. Its leaves can be brewed into teas, infused into oils, or used fresh or dried for culinary and medicinal purposes. It has also been valued for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
