Garden Sage, Salvia nemorosa (Lamiaceae)

These photos were taken during the afternoon of April 11, 2012 in the Hahn Horticulture Garden. The second photo exemplifies the square stems that is a distinct characteristic of the Lamiaceae family.

Fun fact: I don’t like sage because when I worked for the National Cathedral, I had to deadhead entire beds of sage. They leave behind a  sticky sap that’s difficult to wash off.
