Groundcover sage with pale pinkish lavender flowers in pagoda-like wands in spring. Tolerates more water than most native sages, but equally good in dry heat. Pollinator favorite.

Salvia leucophylla 'Pt Sal' thrives in areas from the coast to the desert edge. They appreciate winter rains and summer fog drip, but often respond poorly to heavy summer watering. At a minimum, be sure Point Sal sage is dry before watering during summer. Waiting for the lower leaves to shrivel will help ensure you aren't overwatering. If you choose to withhold summer water entirely, your plant may look sparse or bony by fall, with only a few leaves still vibrant, but it will flush out quickly with rain (or irrigation) in the fall. This is its natural cycle. | |
