Creeping sage. Low-growing perennial that forms spreading mats to 12” high. Leaf shape and color are variable with blue flowers on erect 6” stems in spring and summer. Requires exceptionally good drainage and will not tolerate regular water or heavier soils. Good choice for light, dry shade. A little temperamental but in the right environment creeping sage is an exceptional groundcover. Infrequent water once established. Three distinct populations occur in California: the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the Coast Ranges from Siskiyou County to Napa County, and from Monterey County to San Diego County. Hardy to 10F. California.
