Answer 2

I don't understand the question, 'this is a plant?" Of course it is a plant, not an animal. Sages belong to the mint family and have aromatic foliage. Flowers range from blue to red, they require less water than most garden plants once established. Hummingbirds are particularly attracted to most varieties.
