Description

It grows on dry meadows and pastures. The stem is leafy with one to three pairs of oppositely arranged stem leaves. The long-stemmed ground leaves form a leaf rosette. Their pleated edge is bluntly serrated. Four to eight flowers are arranged in the vertebrae, and the whole inflorescence forms six to twelve such vertebrae. The purple flowers are 2 to 2.5 cm long. They grew with short glandular hairs. Meadow sage grows on dry, desolate (nutrient-poor) soils in bright areas. It is a very common, widespread species in Slovenia.
