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.

  • Description

  • Notes

Enjoyed for its fine, aromatic foliage and uniquely colored flowers, this is an excellent addition to a water-wise garden. Pale grey-green leaves are licorice scented and grow along stiff, upright stems, topped with orange and lavender flowers that bloom mid to late summer. Attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bumblebees. Dead head for best flowering. It is native to mountain regions of Arizona, New Mexico and Northern Mexico.
