Berggarten Sage (Salvia officinalis 'Berggarten') is a premium culinary variety prized for its exceptionally large, rounded leaves and robust flavor. This German-bred sage features broad, silvery-green foliage that's nearly twice the size of common sage, making harvest easier and providing more usable herb per plant. With a milder, more refined flavor than standard sage and a compact, non-flowering habit, Berggarten is the preferred choice of chefs and serious home cooks who demand the best.
Key Features
Extra-large leaves – Broad, rounded foliage nearly twice the size of common sage for easier harvesting
Superior culinary flavor – Milder, more refined taste than standard sage, perfect for delicate dishes
Compact, non-flowering habit – Focuses energy on leaf production rather than blooms for continuous harvest
Beautiful silvery-green foliage – Attractive color and texture add ornamental value to herb gardens
Drought tolerant – Once established, thrives with minimal water in well-drained soil
Berggarten Sage excels in traditional sage applications—stuffings, sausages, roasted meats, brown butter sauces, and hearty soups. The large leaves are easy to harvest and chop, and the milder flavor works beautifully in delicate dishes where common sage might overpower. Use fresh or dried in Italian cuisine, with pork and poultry, or fried in butter as a pasta topping. In the garden, plant in full sun with excellent drainage. The compact habit and non-flowering nature mean more energy goes into producing flavorful foliage for your kitchen.
