A Bit More

This small white sage is a lovely addition to any garden. Its silver-white foliage provides striking contrast to the greens, yellows, and burgundy colors in a garden. It is a favorite of bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Its strong fragrance repels deer, but is attractive to people. It is easy to grow and needs little to no water once established. It is used to make medicinal teas and smudge sticks by local indigenous peoples.
