Sage Tricolor
Sage ‘Tricolor’ (Salvia officinalis ‘Tricolor’)
A beautifully variegated sage with soft pink, cream, and green foliage and classic savoury flavour
🌿 Sage ‘Tricolor’ is a striking, ornamental form of common sage, prized for its softly variegated leaves brushed with green, cream, and warm pink tones. The colours shift gently through the seasons, giving the plant a painterly, almost hand‑tinted look. Despite its decorative appearance, it retains the classic savoury sage flavour, making it both a beautiful foliage plant and a fully culinary herb. In summer it produces soft lilac‑blue flowers that add even more charm to the garden.
Although grown for its beauty, Sage ‘Tricolor’ is still a true culinary sage with a warm, savoury flavour.
• Excellent with roast vegetables, poultry, pork, and autumn dishes
• Lovely in stuffings, herb butters, and slow‑cooked meals
• Adds depth to soups, stews, and Mediterranean recipes
• Young leaves make a beautiful garnish thanks to their variegated colour
• Can be dried or used fresh throughout the season
Flavour profile: warm, savoury, earthy, classic sage with a gentle herbal sweetness
