Sage officinalis ‘Icterina’ is a compact evergreen perennial herb, valued for its highly aromatic variegated foliage. The soft green leaves are edged in creamy yellow and gold, providing year-round colour as well as culinary use.
In summer, the plant produces short spikes of pale purple-blue flowers, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal interest. This versatile herb combines ornamental appeal with practical use in the kitchen and is ideal for herb gardens, containers, and borders.
