I grow this every year, it never survives the winter like my culinary sage does, but it smells just like it. Makes me want to make chicken & dressing! It's so beautiful! It's green with white edged leaves and the stems are purple. There is a hint of purple to some of the leaves also. I really don't understand why it does not make it here in zone 7B, but it never survives. So I just grow it in a container with purple things, as they compliment the hint of purple in it.
