    • Very nice ornamental and culinary sage. Bees adore the flowers! You may want to check your photos, though - the plant with the Persian Sheild is not the icterina. Looks like a yellow variegated plectranthus

    • Great foliage plant! Always looks clean & tidy, combines with any colour scheme. Beautifully echoes the foliage colour of Iris pallida. Still looks terrific in November. Did I mention it's dog proof around our pond?
