California native Sages can be divided into three groups:
- Desert plants that are difficult to grow outside their range;
- Annuals;
- All the others, plants of the California Floristic Province.
It is from this last group - that includes some of the most fragrant, showy, easy-to-grow and drought resistant Salvias from any location - that we offer here.
