Lyreleaf sage produces leafless spikes of lavender to bluish tubular flowers. Like other members of the mint family, its flowers are two-lipped and its stem is square. Lyreleaf sage is an herbaceous perennial in the Lamiaceae (mint) family and native to the eastern and central United States. It may grow 1 to 2 feet tall, with leaves that originate at the base of the stem. Each basal leaf is lobed like a lyre, hence the species name, and lavender flowers occur in rings around the stem from mid-spring to early summer, attracting butterflies. The name Salvia is derived from the Latin term salveo, which means ‘be well’ and refers to the plant's medicinal properties. Plant in average, medium-moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. It tolerates heat and humidity, as well as drought once established. Lyreleaf sage is moderately resistant to browsing by deer. Propagate by collecting seeds before seed capsules fully dry out or by root division. It reseeds easily in loose, sandy soil. Use this sage in a meadow, naturalized area, or woodland. Its dense form, short height, and tolerance for mowing make it an excellent lawn alternative. Plant it in a butterfly, drought tolerant, native, or pollinator garden. Because it tolerates occasional flooding and wet soil, it makes a good addition to a rain garden. Fire Risk: This plant has a medium flammability rating. A member of the mint family, Lyreleaf sage is edible and young leaves have a minty taste. The leaves, blooms, and stems are edible, and can be brewed as a tea to help soothe sore throats. Lyre-leaf sage has been used for treating sores, skin lesions, and warts.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
