Another lovely plant good for shady areas with blue flowers. Lyre-leaf Sage, ( Salvia lyrata )
A native to central and east Texas, perennial with very interesting leaves, that were used at
times by the Cherokee to make a tea used for coughs and nervousness. They also made a sirup mixed with honey, to help with asthma. Picture taken at the center last Sunday.
