Clary Sage – Les Refardes

Descripción

Salvia sclarea L

Clary Sage is a biennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. It can reach 1m in size. It produces rough leaves and inflorescences of a white to violet colour that release a pleasant and intense aroma.

This attractive and aromatic herbaceous plant is perfect for growing in the garden and in the vegetable patch as it is a good melliferous plant that attracts pollinating insects.

In the vegetable patch, it is very useful as a repellent plant. It helps to keep ants, whiteflies, aphids, snails and slugs away. It is important to grow it at some distance from the main crop, as its roots exude allelopathic substances that impede the good development of some vegetables.

As a condiment in cooking, it is used to flavour meat and fish dishes. In infusion, it has invigorating and tonifying properties.
