Sages

(Salvia spp.)

Native sages are a versatile and vibrant addition to any garden. These plants offer a wide range of forms, textured foliage, and bold blossoms that combine well with most other plants in the landscape. Many species attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, but fortunately, not deer or rabbits. It is the distinctive aroma of their leaves that attracts us yet repels garden pests.
