Salvia pachyphylla, Rose Sage

If your garden is hot and dry, this is the plant for you! Native to southern California deserts, Rose Sage is a beautiful silvery shrub of intensely aromatic foliage that grows 18 to 30 inches tall and wide. Spikes of densely packed violet whorls support elongated tubular blue flowers, blooming over a long period in summer. This striking sage requires full sun with excellent drainage, where it will be extremely drought tolerant once established. A magnet for pollinators including butterflies and hummingbirds. Deer resistant.
