Salvia lyrata - LYRE-LEAVED SAGE
Highly adaptable and freely seeding native perennial. Great for naturalization or groundcovering substitute for lawn.
Our plants are Indiana genotype, hardy to zone 5.
Usually grows to 1.5' in height (to 2' in rich soil), this is fairly small/narrow plant that grows from flat basal rosette of leaves. Flower in May/June and in time of flower is showy, especially if planted in masses.
Full sun, half shade, light shade, adaptable to all soil types, including rich, acidic, calcerous, sandy, gritty or clay. Medium-dry, medium to medium-wet soils.
Tolerates droughts, seasonal flooding and even consistent mowing!
Hardy in zones 5 to 9. Native to south, southeast and Midwest, see the BONAP distribution map.
Flowers attract native bees, honey bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Tolerant to black walnut.
Deer may browse on the plants, but this is prolific seeding plant, so it will stay around.
Best used in meadows, wildlife gardens, prairie, pollinator or hummingbird gardens. Rosettes often form dense groundcovering carpet, so can be used as substitute for lawn, good for slopes or difficult to mow areas and patches.
This sage can't compete to tall plants, so it will fill areas around them.
Pot size : square 3.5" x 5" deep pot
