Salvia pratensis
Also known as Meadow Clary, this hardy herb is found in meadows (of course!), woodland edges and scrubland in parts of Europe, western Asia and North Africa, and will flourish in any dry sunny spot and on boney ground. It has strongly aromatic leaves which can be used as a sage substitute for flavouring in cooked foods and tea, beers and wine. As with clary sage (Salvia sclarea), the name ‘clary’ is derived from ‘clear-eye’ and the plant seeds were formerly used as a paste to remove particles from the eyes and to reduce inflammation. It can also be used like common sage as an anti-inflammatory, as a gargle for sore throats, and to clean teeth. In summer spikes of beautiful bright violet blue flowers rise on solid stems, attracting bees by the dozen. Ht 50 – 80cm, spread up to 50cm.
9cm or 11cm pot, certified organic plant.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
