A question about sage... [View all]

I have edible sage in my herb garden. It has never flowered before, but it has buds this year. Is it best to cut them off? Can the flowers be used? Thanks.

I usually cut mine off and cook with them. The flowers have a milder flavor than the leaves. beac May 2012 #2
