  • Description

  • Notes

This small sage is a Utah native, growing in semi-desserts, foothills, and shrublands. It has a rounded, tidy habit, growing about 16 to 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide. It has pale gree, evergreen foliage that is covered in grey hairs, giving it a silvery appearance. Yellow flowers bloom August through October. All parts of the plant are arromatic. Its tidy habit makes it easy to fit into more traditionally-styled landscapes, but it is also wonderful tucked into a more natural setting. Excellent for sunny, hot parkstrips.
