Autumn Sage
Salvia greggii
Autumn sage (Salvia greggii) is the workhorse, and like most workhorses it gets no applause for showing up every day — blooms spring to frost, sips water, and runs a hummingbird operation it never closes. If you plant exactly one native this year and want to look like you knew what you were doing, make it this. 🌺

Blooms spring to frost in red, pink, or white — whichever you choose, it will outlast your enthusiasm for fussing over it. The reliable backbone of a water-wise bed, and reliability, in a garden, is the rarest virtue going.
