Pitcher Sage

Pitcher Sage, originally uploaded by inyopfc.

This pitcher sage (Lepechinia fragrans) plant, after getting a slow start, looks amazing right now. The flowers are beautiful, the plant smells amazing, and the little fuzzy hairs on the leaves make it look like it has a glowing aura around it.

I never see this planted in native plant gardens... but I can't imagine why! I really hope it makes viable seed so I can grow more.
