Rosemary & Bergamot Small Gift Pouch, Guest Lotion wash Pouch

We have many different varieties of sage here at St Kitts, each with different colours and fragrances. One variety that stands out is blackcurrant sage- if you thought that sage was a savoury ingredient, think again!

This deliciously fruity variety has a remarkable blackcurrant fragrance and is the perfect ingredient to pep up drinks, fruity pies, puddings and jellies.Blackcurrant sage

Blackcurrant sage has bright, berry red flowers and a fruity aroma which makes it irresistible to bees. It’s a frost tender perennial, so as long as you keep it frost free over winter, it will add colour and scent to your herb garden year after year.
