Rewilding My Lot

I had some Lyreleaf Sage (Salvia lyrata) plants in Houston, and was glad to see that they do well in Seguin also. The leaves have interesting markings, it is hardy in a variety of conditions (wet, dry, sun, shade!), and it spreads gently. It can even function as an evergreen ground cover.

The Lyreleaf Sage here was transplanted last fall from the park where I volunteer. In the original location, it had spread to the point where we needed to remove some plants, so I gave four of them a home. They recovered from the transplant, survived the winter just fine, and now are showing their purple spring blooms. I do like the leaf markings.
