I wasn't familiar with this plant as an ingredient and so did a little bit of research.<br /><br />I think the clary sage that is used for essential oils, and in some herbal rememdies, is actually a different species, Salvia sclarea. They are both members of the same genus, Salvia. What we're growing here at Gibside, the annual clary sage (as opposed to just clary sage), is Salvia viridis (previously known as Salvia horminum) ... if that makes sense.<br /><br />Thanks, Tam<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517148687972926144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588497199467624104.post-755111110075872832013-08-27T08:30:31.942-07:002013-08-27T08:30:31.942-07:00Lovely photos.
