Salvia officinalis is the most widely used herb - an essential ingredient in sage and onion stuffing!

Scarlet sage or S. splendens is often used as bedding – it comes in hot red and purple as well as pastel pinks, lilacs and blues.

Salvia comes from the Latin ‘salveo’ meaning ‘I heal’ which may refer to its use as an herbal remedy for a whole range of problems from indigestion to insect bites!
