Notes
'Extrakta' sage (Salvia officinalis 'Extrakta') is an herb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Bees and butterflies visit it, and the evergreen leaves are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. This improved variety is high yielding and drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Helene Von Stein lamb’s ear, Georgia Peach coral bells, Genovese basil, and Amish Paste tomato.
