Point Sal Spreader Mexican Purple Sage lays down a broad, low blanket of aromatic silver-gray foliage, then lifts whorls of pink-purple flowers above it through spring and summer. Salvia leucophylla arrives as a live 4-inch plant.

This is the answer to the dry bank nobody wants to irrigate. The prostrate framework covers a remarkable amount of open ground while staying near waist height, holding a slope, filling the space between larger natives, and drawing pollinators to every flowering whorl. A California native, it takes full sun, tolerates part shade away from the coast, wants regular water only while it roots in, and prefers a dry summer afterward.

Fun fact: The species name leucophylla simply means white-leaved, and that pale coat is practical: it reflects hard coastal sun and helps the plant hold moisture through a rainless California summer.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
