Lepechinia fragrans - Island Pitcher Sage

(Island Pitcher Sage) Native to shady canyons on the coast of Southern California's Channel Islands, this threatened species is highly desirable for its ruggedness, its aromatic furry leaves and its spectacular Winter and Spring flowers.

Grow this shrub in rich soil with regular watering in partial shade for a breathtaking blooming every year - or grow it in any amount of shade with any amount of water in all but the very worst soil, and you will still be rewarded for your efforts.

A California native that catches everyone's eye. Highly recommended and limited.

Salvia apiana

(Sacred White Sage) An important herb to indigenous Californians, this elegant and truly unique plant belongs in every garden. Stiff, almost fleshy leaves are a brilliant white, displayed in tight rosettes on this small shrub. The flower spikes soar above the foliage, with hundreds of small white-to-lavender flowers that are one of the most important sources of nectar and pollen for honeybees. This Salvia is the source of leaves for "smudge sticks" used in a variety of rituals.
