Blackcurrant Sage
« on: July 22, 2011, 14:29 »
I bought a blackcurrant sage from the gardencentre ,the leaves really smell of blackcurrant.Does anybody know how hardy it is as some sages are frost hardy .Sadly as I am a proper bloke I've thrown the instruction plastic thingy away :nowink:

Does being a 'proper bloke' stop you from using Google as well then   ::)  :lol:

No being a proper bloke doesn't stop me from googleing but in doing so I always see plants that I MUST have,particularly herbs.I did look at the link and it is frost hardy apparently it's just that I've seen three plants that its vital that I have in the garden too :nowink:

Mike - Blackcurrant sage is not listed as edible on Jekka's site  :unsure:



The 'must have' shopping sounds a very female trait for a 'proper bloke', sion  :D

They can't make up their minds can they, as that site says it needs protection from severe frosts. C'mon .....it's either hardy or not...can't have it both ways  :nowink:
