Kashmir Sage

A tough, mound-forming sage with deep purple flowers that look like bells, and resinous sticky fruity-scented foliage. It is common in Kashmir, growing at 7,900 to 13,000′ on open slopes and forests in the Himalayas, where it is consumed as tea. Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a secondary source of Dan-shen for heart and blood disorders. Loved by bees, butterflies, and hummers!
