A fast and easy to grow local sage, Black Sage has a sweet and wild scent that reminds folks of a morning walk in the Santa Monica Mountains. Go ahead and rub the leaves and have a smell........Ahhh, Ventura County. This extremely low-water plant can look ratty and woody in our hills in Summer, but in your garden it can be a good-looking green shrub all year with just a little water and a little pruning. Spring-Early Summer brings white-pink-purple flowers that bees and butterflies love, and leaving the dry flower heads supplies local birds with months of food. Black Sage loves Full Sun but can tolerate a pretty good amount of shade, and quickly grows to 3-5 feet high and wide. This is one of the most lush and brightest plants in our local hills in Late Fall and Winter. Plant Local, Enjoy Life!!
