Berggarten sage
Many sages, such as the lush Cleveland sage, are native to California. The plush, woolly leaves of Berggarten sage are a cook’s dream and add a unique softness to the landscape. Water is the one thing that can quickly kill a sage, so make sure the soil drains well and keep a light hand on the hose. Grows to 2 feet tall. Needs pruning in spring to promote new leaves.
