Overview
Wild sage is a small tropical perennial shrub with a woody stem that can grow up to 10 feet tall. The serrated leaves are aromatic.
The stem and leaves are hairy; the clustered flowers of wild sage vary from white to purple, white yellow, red pink, orange or blue are in between.
There are many varieties and hybrids of scrub verbena available.
Lantana blooms year round and attracts butterflies for pollination to the garden.
The berry-like fruit is juicy, first green later black-purplish; poisonous for animals and for humans as well, if overdosed.
The plant contains lantadene A and B and other toxics.
However, the ripe berries are eaten by school children in Surinam, without harm to them.
Lantana repels other plants and other groups of organisms such as insects.
The leaves are used to relieve itching. Other uses are against flu, colds, coughs, fevers, yellow fever, dysentery and jaundice.
The roots are used for gonorrhea.
