Description

The 'Allen Chickering' is a California native sage, growing as an evergreen shrub to 5' x 5'. It bears rounded whorls of light lavender blue flowers that appear in skewered clusters in spring and often again in fall. The leaves are dark green. The plant does best when cut back after flowering to prevent seed formation. Does best with some afternoon shade.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
