Velvety, gray-green leaves and pungent, slightly peppery flavor, this aromatic perennial is a staple for elevating savory dishes, from roasted poultry and classic stuffing to savory sage butter for pasta. 
 
Hardy and water-wise, this drought-tolerant "wisdom herb" is as easy to grow in sunny garden beds as it is to maintain in kitchen-side containers, offering a steady harvest from spring through winter.
