Salvia clevelandii (Cleveland Sage)
Salvia clevelandii, commonly known as Cleveland Sage, is a fragrant evergreen shrub native to Southern California and northern Mexico. It is prized for its intensely aromatic, grey-green foliage and showy whorls of lavender to deep violet-blue flowers that bloom in late spring through summer. The strong, resinous fragrance of its leaves makes it a standout in the garden, while its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, this salvia thrives in hot, dry conditions and is ideal for water-wise and Mediterranean-style gardens.
