Sage is a popular herb used to make stuffing and to flavour meat dishes. 

Also known as culinary sage, this semi-shrubby plant features woolly, gray-green, aromatic, ovate leaves that stretch up to 4 inches long. The leaves are commonly used fresh or dried in cooking and add an earthy and slightly peppery flavour. Spikes of blue-purple flowers appear in the summertime.

Sage vs. Marjoram

Both sage and marjoram are members of the mint family. And marjoram provides a very similar flavou

r to sage in recipes, though it tends to be milder. However, the plants differ quite a bit in appearance. While sage leaves average around 4 inches long, marjoram leaves don't get longer than an inch at the most. Marjoram leaves also are smooth, unlike sage’s fuzzy texture.
