Description

The 'Allen Chickering' is a California native sage, growing as an evergreen shrub to 4-5' tall. It bears rounded whorls of light lavender blue flowers that appear in skewered clusters in spring and often again in fall. The leaves grow to 2" long and 1/2" wide, and are dark green. The plant does best when cut back after flowering to prevent seed formation as well as prolong the life of the shrub, especially where it receives supplemental watering. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
