jenhill, sage is a perennial in z6 (I'm in 6b), but will get woody and probably need to be replaced at some point, but not for at least 5-6 years. it's a wonderful plant and very easy to dry the leaves that you don't use fresh.

most thymes should be hardy for you. my creeping thymes (I have 9 varieties) are all evergreen. they may take a beating, but when the snow melts they brighten up and bloom in the spring and are very pretty. they make great ground covers. I use them for underplanting under roses.

there is golden thyme (left) and mother-of-thyme (right) under the red rose that has been there for 3 years
