    I've recently acquired a lovely blackcurrent sage, just because the plant was so pretty. I was wondering if it has a culinary use like ordinary sage?
    Does anyone know? Also does anyone know how big this plant gets?

    Thanks for that! Mmmm...I think I might have to have a pineapple sage as well. I had no idea there were so many sages. Now for somewhere to fit them in.........
