Salvia mellifera, commonly known as black sage, is a resilient evergreen shrub native to California's coastal sage scrub. It features a mounding, spreading growth habit with dark green, highly aromatic foliage that releases a pungent scent when touched. In spring and summer, it produces spikes of pale blue to white flowers that are a magnet for bees and hummingbirds. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for slopes and habitat gardens.
