Common name This is the non-scientific name used for a plant. A plant may have several common names, depending on the gardener's location. To further confuse the matter, a common name may be shared by several completely different plants. At Flowers by the Sea, we rely on the scientific name to identify our plants and avoid confusion.

USDA Zones The U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones indicate the temperature zones where a plant is likely to thrive. It is determined by the average annual winter minimum temperature. Actual winter temperatures may be higher or lower than the average. 7 - 9
Size (h/w/fh) The anticipated mature size of the plant: Height, Width & Flower Height. 24"/36"/36"
Exposure This is the average amount of sunlight that a plant needs to thrive. Generally, full sun exposure is 6 or more hours of direct sun daily while partial shade is less than 4 hours of sun or dappled shade all day. Plants may tolerate more sunlight in cooler climates and need afternoon shade in extremely hot climates. Full sun to partial shade
Soil type This is the kind of soil that a plant needs to thrive. Most plants require a well-drained soil that allows the water to soak into the soil without becoming soggy. Sandy and clay soils can be improved by digging in compost to improve drainage. Well drained
Water needs Plants have specific water requirements. Water loving means the plant needs regular watering to keep the soil moist. Average generally indicates applying 1 inch of water per week, or watering when the soil is dry to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. One inch of water is equal to 5 gallons per square yard of soil surface.

Jame Sages (S. x jamensis spp.) are hybrid members of the Autumn Sage (S. greggii) and Mountain Sage (S. microphylla) group of closely related Salvias. However, unlike their parent species, Jame Sages often are pastel. 

Native to Mexico and the American Southwest, these hybrids occur in areas where Autumn Sage and Mountain Sage meet, such as near the Jame Valley in the cloudy mountain ridges of northeastern Mexico's state of Coahuilla or at private nurseries and universities involved in botanical research.

Every year, many new Jame Sages enter commercial horticulture. We grow as many as we can, looking for exceptional varieties, but only a few make the cut. Annie's Annuals & Perennials, a Northern California nursery, developed Pink Pearl Jame Sage.

Pink Pearl is fragrant, long blooming and vigorous. It tolerates heat and drought similar to other members of the Autumn/Mountain Sage group.

Honeybees love this wide-spreading perennial, but deer avoid it. Jame Sages grow well in full sun to partial shade. Planted in mass, this one is an excellent groundcover.
