Purple Sage | Salvia leucophylla ‘Point Sal’
Purple Sage ‘Point Sal’ is a beautiful and adaptable California native, celebrated for its aromatic silver-gray foliage and abundant rose-pink flowers. Tough and versatile, it thrives in both coastal and inland landscapes, tolerating clay soils, seaside conditions, and drought. This fast-spreading sage is ideal for erosion control, large-scale naturalizing, and bird or pollinator habitat gardens. Its fragrant leaves and long-lasting blooms attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, making it both functional and ornamental.
