Much imported sage is, in fact, this species, not the true garden or Dalmatian sage (S. officinalis) as is commonly believed. Of ancient use; its distinctive trilobate leaves are visible in the wonderful Minoan frescoes at Knossos, dated 1400 B.C. Although somewhat inferior in quality, Greek sage offers the advantage that it is easier to grow indoors.
