Lyreleaf Sage - (Salvia lyrata 'Purple Knockout') |
|
|
Whorls or rings of two-lipped, inch-long, bright-blue flowers grow along the upper part of each stem in spring and summer. Native Americans brewed a tea from the whole plant for colds and asthma. The young leaves have a mild minty flavor and may be used in salads or cooked as a potherb. The entire plant (harvested and dried as the flowers begin to bloom in the spring), or just the seeds, can be brewed as a tea, which, sweetened with honey, makes a soothing bedtime beverage. The seeds can be ground into flour and used in baking bread. Salves made from the roots were used for sores.
Approx 50 seeds per pack
