Salvia pratensis, commonly known as meadow clary or meadow sage, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe and Western Asia. It is known for its striking spikes of violet-blue flowers that bloom in the summer months. Meadow clary is often found in meadows, grasslands, and open woodlands. This plant is valued for its ornamental beauty and is a favorite among pollinators like bees and butterflies. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Salvia pratensis has been used in traditional medicine for its potential healing properties and as a culinary herb in some regions.
