I purchased a small white sage plant from a local nursery about 2 months ago. I transplanted it to a large terra cotta pot in my front yard about 2 weeks after I brought it home. The plant seems to be doing well. It has grown several inches since transplant. I noticed though that a few of the older leaves are turning a dark reddish purple. I know some varieties of sage produce some purple leaves. But I didn't think that happened to white sage. Should I remove these or leave them be? There is no yellowing and after looking around the internet for common sage diseases I didn't find anything like what I'm seeing.
