Salvia leucophylla 'Point Sal'

Native Sons selection from Point Sal in 1987. Original mother plant was 4' tall with a graceful 8' spread in the wild. In garden conditions plants have grown considerably larger but still maintain a mounding form. Rose-pink flowers are produced in spring on an 8" inflorescence. Plants are deciduous in dry situations. Winter or spring leaves open apple green becoming gray, then white as the season progresses. Full sun or light shade with well-drained soils. A tough and durable selection well-suited to the dry garden. Limbs sometimes root where they touch the ground producing a thicket. Not to be confused with 'Pt. Sal Spreader' which is a lower growing selection. Hardy to 10F. California Coastal ranges from Santa Barbara to Orange County.
