About This Plant
Lyre-leaved Sage has tubular, light blue flowers that pollinators love. Their shape provides a "landing strip" for small bees and other pollinators to access the nectar. It is also frequently visited by hummingbirds, butterflies, and songbirds who eat its seeds after blooming. It is tolerant of many conditions, including drought, and can work great as an addition to a converted lawn as it is resistant to mowing.
