Sage - Several varieties are used in cooking, medicine and industry. The most commonly useful are Clary (Salvia sclarea), Garden (S. officinalis), (S. horminum), Meadow (S. pratensis) and Pineapple Sage (S. rutilans).
Propagation: All by seed; all self-sow freely except Pineapple Sage which, in cool climates, is touched by frost before it sets seed, and is propagated by cuttings; Garden Sage is increased by cuttings, layering or root division; S. horminum, once self-sown, sows so freely that it will not need to be planted again; this is true also of Clary Sage if seeds are not harvested.
Nature of Plant: Clary grows to 4 feet with broad, pebbly, gray-green leaves about 9 inches long; flowers are either rosy blue or white in terminal spikes; useful for back of border or in gray garden and for flower arrangements if stems are mashed before placing in water.
Garden, a sub-shrub, 2 feet high with slender, grayish green leaves, pebbly to the touch; flowers in terminal spikes are light purple and a white flowered variety is beautiful for a white garden; both suitable in a gray garden and as a low hedge about a vegetable or herb garden.
S. horminum grows to 1 1/2 feet with oblong floral leaves a vivid purple; makes a striking contrast against a background of Cinque-foil.
Meadow grows to 2 feet with beautiful racemes of bright blue flowers; suitable for the blue garden and for flower arrangements.
Pineapple, Bailey says that this is thought to be a horticultural form of Salvia splendens, the red of the flowers is a much purer, richer red; the leaves have the delightful fragrance of fresh pineapple; it is tender, grows to 3 feet high; a much branching bush flowering late in the fall.
Spacing of Mature Plants:S. horminum 6 inches; Meadow 1 foot; Garden 18 inches; Pineapple and Clary about 2 feet.
Cultural Requirements: All like limy or sandy, well drained soil in full sun; since Clary is a biennial, it flowers the second year and must be planted each year for continuous bloom; Garden Sage grows woody and should be renewed every 3 or 4 years, and if not kept well apart, plants turn yellow; requires cultivation and enrichment of soil.
