I know I know the smell, but I can't figure out what it is.

sage?
mint?

LIZS · 15/04/2022 16:26

Mint or lemon verbena

NashvilleQueen · 15/04/2022 16:26

Save perhaps? Doesn't usually have variegated leaves I don't think.

MadameFantabulosa · 15/04/2022 16:27

Some kind of mint, or maybe lemon balm?

NashvilleQueen · 15/04/2022 16:27

Pretty sure it's not mint. Rub the leaves and smell them!

Tricolour sage?

HemanOrSheRa · 15/04/2022 16:29

Looks like sage tricolour.

NashvilleQueen · 15/04/2022 16:29

I think @SilentBob is right.

Does it smell of Paxo stuffing? If it does, that's Sage. If it smells a bit like paxo but with a fruity note, Pineapple Sage.

It is tricolour sage (I have a plant identification app on my phone and just pointed it at your picture on my computer screen).

Pretty sure that's sage :)

chesirecat99 · 15/04/2022 16:34

It's sage, just a fancy variegated one.

Tricolour sage!!!

Thank you all.

My dad planted loads of herbs but lost the labels. I did the rub and smell test but I just couldn't figure it out. Maybe because I don't eat stuffing. I will let them know
