This sage grows about 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, with an upright, though slightly loose, habit. It has grey-green foliage covered in grey hairs giving it a silvery look. Yellow flowers bloom in late summer into fall and are inconspicuous, but the bees enjoy them. New wood is supple and white; older wood is brown and shreddy. Heady aroma makes this a wonderful plant for cutting fresh or drying. Good for natural-styled landscapes. Evergreen.
Grow in full sun and well drained soil, preferrably a little on the coarse side. Tolerates gravelly-clay and sandy soils. Alkaline tolerant. Doesn't require watering once it is established. Every couple of years, prune this sage back hard in the spring to keep it more compact.
