Amethyst Bluff Purple Sage

A stunning California native groundcover, Amethyst Bluff Purple Sage spreads wide and low, creating a dramatic carpet of silvery-purple foliage. Spring brings delicate purple blooms that attract hummingbirds and polllinators. Thriving in full sun with minimal water once established, this fast-growing evergreen shrub reaches 1 foot tall but spreads to 5 feet wide or more—perfect for erosion control, fdrought-tolerant gardens, and pollinator gardens. Hardy to 25°F and tolerant of variable soils, it's an easy-care native choice for California landscapes seeking color, wildlife value, and drought resilience.
