$6.99
Salvia lyrata is native sage, and this deep burgundy-leaved cultivar, which goes by several other names including 'Purple Knockout,' 'Purple Prince,' and 'Burgundy Bliss,' behaves exactly like its parent.
Very easy to grow perennial and unbelievably adaptive - it can handle full sun, half shade or full shade. Dry soil or medium moist soil, or even moist soil, clay or sandy soils, pretty much anything....
It is low growing, evergreen (or "everred"), and pretty fast growing and also quickly self-seeding and making a mat of leaves, filling gaps among other plants. It's a good plant for planting along pathways, edges or for naturalization in low grass areas. If it spreads too much, it's easy to pull and reduce, so you don't have to scared.
Its burgundy leaves look very good with gray leaves of Iris x germanica, Stachys byzantina, or with nativar of Phlox subulata, Iris cristata (in half shade), Coreopsis verticillata or even Asclepias tuberosa, or grasses like Schizachyrium scoparius 'Prairie Blues' ...
Can be used as substitute for invasive introduced Ajuga reptans! And of course it will attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Salvia lyrata ‘Volcano Red’
It’s too soon to evaluate, but I am planting this in lieu of its look-alike Ajuga, for I fear the latter’s invasiveness. It looks simple beautiful.
