Salvia
lyrata ~ Meadow Sage, Cancer Weed |
| Salvia lyrata is a sage that
has historically been used for a number of herbal
remedies including removing warts and cancers, hence the common name.
Salvia lyrata can be a little invasive in
consistently moist environments. That is rarely a problem in California gardens.
Meadow Sage has not been affected by cold in any of my plantings.
Meadow Sage seems to prefer a
little shade in the inland valleys. I use Salvia lyrata in the landscape as I would
Ajuga, often as a groundcover
under other plantings.
