Salvia mellifera, commonly known as Black Sage, is a drought-tolerant evergreen shrub native to California. It boasts dark green, aromatic leaves and slender, upright stems adorned with clusters of small, tubular flowers ranging from shades of white to purple. Black Sage is well-adapted to the Mediterranean climate of its native range, thriving in dry, rocky soils and full sun exposure. Its fragrant foliage and nectar-rich flowers make it a valuable resource for native pollinators, including bees and butterflies. In addition to its ecological importance, Black Sage is cherished for its ornamental value in garden landscapes, where it adds texture, color, and drought tolerance to xeriscapes, native plant gardens, and coastal landscapes.Salvia mellifera, commonly known as Black Sage, is a drought-tolerant evergreen shrub native to California.
