Cleveland Sage | Salvia clevelandii
Cleveland Sage is a fragrant, evergreen shrub native to Southern California, prized for its aromatic gray-green foliage and vibrant violet-blue flower whorls. Blooming from late spring into early summer, it fills the garden with color and a sweet, musky fragrance that attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, this California native thrives in dry, sunny conditions and adds beauty, fragrance, and pollinator appeal to water-wise gardens.
