The Golden Sage, 'Salvia officinalis aurea', has beautiful golden variegated leaves. Golden Sage is an ideal plant for color contrast in the home landscape. The leaves of sage have a sharp, peppery taste. Use Golden Sage to flavor sausage, soups, dressings, cheese dishes, and stuffings. Sage tea is also worth a try. Young leaves are eaten fresh in salads or cooked in omelets, breads, poultry stuffings and all types of beans, cabbage, and garlic. Plant in the spring in well drained soil. Golden Sage is a source of vitamins A and C and is a neat shrubby plant.
