Rounded mound of showy green, purple and cream aromatic leaves with spikes of lilac-blue blooms. Nice decorative herb that also goes well in teas, sausage and stuffing. Tricolor sage is an ornamental variegated variety with aromatic white, silvery-green and pinkish-purple leaves that will attract birds and butterflies. It does not flower often but when it does they will be on the end of spikes and a purple to blue color.
