Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A compact selection of sandhill sage, this charming subshrub common to coastal dune complexes from Monterey to Oregon reaches 1' high and 3' across. Soft and woolly white, this choice plant is tolerant of both wind and salt spray, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens. It requires well-drained soils but is not particularly receptive to hot interior climates. Remove the flowering heads in late summer to maintain a tidy form and provide moderate summer water in coastal climates. Combines perfectly with Fragaria chiloensis 'Aulon'. Hardy to below 0F. Point Reyes, California.
