Point Sal Purple Sage

Salvia leucophylla

Point Sal Purple Sage, is a drought-resistant low growing shrub that is both ornamental and functional within water-wise landscapes. Its aromatic, silvery leaves create a striking contrast against the vibrant purple flowers that appear in late spring and early summer. A prodigious spreader, this sage's low-water needs and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies make it an excellent choice for xeriscapes and native plant gardens. Its woody structure and evergreen nature provide year-round interest and habitat for local wildlife.

Ecological Benefits

Maintenance Tips

  • Prune in late winter to early spring to shape and encourage denser growth.
  • Prefers well-drained soils; avoid heavy, moist soils.
  • Remove old flowers to promote new blooms. Mulch lightly to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds without creating moisture retention near the stems.
