  • Description

  • Notes

Sand sage provides softness and movement in the landscape. A semi-evergreen shrub with feathery, silver-blue, fragrant foliage, covered with white hairs giving it a silvery cast. New wood is whitish; more mature wood is a brown and shaggy. Inconspicuous flowers appear in late summer. Grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Ideal for a meadow or naturally-styled landscape.
