Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

Germander sage is a mounding perennial native to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains of Mexico, and growing about 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide. It has heavily textured grey green foliage and truly blue flowers that rise on spires in early summer and again, to a lesser extent, in the fall.
