Comments: Autumn sage is a popular flowering perennial for hot-dry areas. It's a low grower with aromatic foliage that is said to quicken the sense. Its brightly colored flowers are made up of two lips. The upper lip is curled in a tight hood while the lower lip, which resembles a flowing dress, is broad and stands out like a billboard to pollinators.
