Thanks, Sage is wonderful. I have been growing it for years and use it at Thanksgiving to add flavor to the stuffing and veggies . I am a vegan so no turkey but sage and all the other herbs takes me back to thanksgivings of the past before I knew better. It also is beautiful in the garden. I use it near roses to keep pests away and deer and rabbits don't touch it.

Thank you for this article! I grow sage in a pot in my yard and it is pest free, easy to grow, healthy for us and beautiful.

From the article:
Salvia Officinalis attract bees to gather honey from its flower and it repels pest insects from its nearby areas thus keeping the garden free from diseases and pathogenic insects. Also people don’t like to grow sages in their garden fearing a bee attack; but we know they help in pollination keeping the garden at its best and don’t harm if we don’t mess with them. So always it is a preferred idea to border the garden or plants with the Garden Sages so that the pests and insects are fend off and the beauty prevails as well due to the great flowers it bores.
