Category: Plants

The sage cultivar of choice for culinary pursuits, this variety is known as 'broad leaf sage' for its large (up to 10cm), elliptical to oval grey-green leaves. It is an evergreen sub shrub with woody stems and a compact mounding habit, useful as a tidy addition to perennial plantings as well as the productive garden. Rarely flowering, it makes a striking foliage feature with the varied angle of the leaves producing a range of colours from bright green to silver tones, aging to soft downy grey. The name 'Berggaten' translates to 'mountain garden', referencing the area in which it was grown on a German estate.

Daniel K. ★★★★★

The leaves on this Berggarten are massive—some easily 10cm long—and the grey-green color is gorgeous. I’ve already used a few in a roast chicken and the flavor is much stronger and more aromatic than the dried stuff. So glad I finally have a real culinary sage.

Lucy H. ★★★★★

The leaves are enormous—almost double the size of my last sage plant—and the flavor is so much more robust for cooking. I've already used it in three dinners this week.

Madison ★★★★★

Planted this in my herb garden last month and the broad leaves are already perfect for stuffing under chicken skin before roasting. The woody stems give it a sturdy structure that handles our windy spot surprisingly well.
