Wood Sage, or Germander, is a small to medium perennial. The paired flowers are a greenish yellow and grow on branched spikes. The anthers are maroon-coloured and prominent. The leaves are heart shaped, toothed, wrinkled and downy. The stem is reddish and square.
The plant usually grows in acid soil and is found on dry heathy places and open woods. It is fairly common in the mountains but scarcer in the lowlands and hard to find in the centre of the country.
Flowering time is July and August.
Wood Sage is widespread in western Europe and in Croatia.
