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. It may not keep you young forever, but it will help control winter sniffles. Culinary sages make great additions to the border garden. Cut back at the end of winter to remove woody stems and promote new growth.
Golden Sage has a flavor that is very assertive and very valuable as a digestive aid in many dishes, particularly those relatively high in fat such as pork, veal, duck, and cheese. Sage is also great with carrots, tomatoes, squash, corn and potatoes. 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
