White Sage

White Sage | Salvia apiana

White Sage is a fragrant, evergreen perennial native to the southwestern United States, prized for its silvery-white leaves and aromatic qualities. Highly valued in traditional and modern gardens, this striking plant offers year-round visual appeal and supports local wildlife. In late spring to early summer, tall flower spikes appear, adorned with clusters of white to pale lavender blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Known for its drought tolerance and resilience, White Sage is both beautiful and functional, making it a favorite in xeriscapes and pollinator gardens.
