Tricolor sage is loved for its softly variegated leaves in shades of green, creamy white, and blush pink. Even when not in bloom, the foliage alone brings color and texture to garden beds, borders, and containers.
Beyond its beauty, this sage offers a mild, balanced sage flavor that works well in everyday cooking without overpowering other ingredients. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, making Tricolor sage both an ornamental and practical addition to the herb garden.
With its spreading, low-growing habit, Tricolor sage forms a relaxed mound that looks especially lovely when allowed to spill slightly over edges or into pathways.

What to Expect With Your Plants
What size plants will I receive?
Most plants ship in 2 3/8” x 3 3/4” band pots—ideal for healthy root growth.
Top growth varies by variety and season, but every plant arrives well-rooted, actively growing, and ready to plant.
Grown naturally without artificial heat or lights, our plants are hardy, adaptable, and ready to thrive in real garden conditions.
When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
Orders ship Monday–Wednesday via UPS or USPS (2–3 day service), so your plants arrive before the weekend and spend less time in transit. Shipping begins in spring—usually mid-April—when weather and plant health align, so your plants arrive strong, well-rooted, and ready to thrive.
Do you guarantee your plants?
We stand behind our plants and our packing process. While we can't control weather or how plants are cared for after arrival, we do guarantee that your plants will arrive healthy and in good condition. If there's an issue, just reach out and we're happy to help.
