Lyre-leaf Sage is a short plant in the mint family that self-seeds readily to fill in among taller perennials in habitat corridors. Its leaves grow in a rosette at the base of the plant and are semi-evergreen. The light purple flowers emerge early in the year and are around one inch long. These tubular blooms attract hummingbirds, as the elongated flowers are the perfect shape for their beaks. Other visitors include Leaf-cutting Bees, Mason Bees, and Carpenter Bees. Mourning Doves are said to eat the seeds. Deer Resistant.
