Bees are its predominant pollinator, but it also attracts butterflies and occasionally, hummingbirds. 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.
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.
