Chaparral Sage

Chaparral sage is a medium-sized plant with very fragrant foliage. This sage is an evergreen shrub native to California, particularly in the coastal and foothill regions. Renowned for its lush, green foliage and vibrant blue to purple flowers, which bloom in late spring to early summer. Chaparral sage attracts many pollinators, including bees and hummingbirds, making it a great addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes. The plant can grow up to 3 to 4 feet in height and width, with dense, aromatic leaves that release a strong, pleasant scent when crushed. It is very durable in well-draining soil as they don't like soggy roots. Prune off the bloom's spikes as the flowers fade to promote new growth. 

It is highly resistant to pests and diseases and is well-suited to most climates, where it can handle hot, dry summers and mild winters. Once established, Cleveland sage requires low maintenance and minimal watering, though it benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and promote growth. They look their best when planted with some protection from the hottest sun in the summer.
