HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the lyre leaf sage seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes 1-2 weeks.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant grows very quickly and needs little care, though watering during dry weather will improve its blooming. Though they prefer rather moist soil, mature plants tolerate heat and drought as well as thriving in sandy or rocky soils. Cut back the growing stems to encourage bushier growth. This plant attracts bees and butterflies, and will self-seed unless cut back after flowering has finished.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: The flower spike will turn brown and dry while the seeds begin to form. Watch the plant carefully, since the Salvia Lyrata seeds will soon blow away with the wind. Shake the ripe brown heads over a container to remove the seed. Store the lyre leaf sage seed in a cool, dry place.
