Black sage is very aromatic and does well in a variety of soils. It grows quickly, which is great for areas you would like to see a shrub take over and fill up quickly. It will grow up to three feet high very quickly, and can continue to grow to reach six feet. It will also grow to ten feet wide. It is definitely a good choice for areas that you would like to fill with one variety of plant. At Evergreen Landscaping Service, we can help you choose the perfect place in your yard for black sage, and we can help you decide where it will do best in your yard.
One of the most attractive things about black sage is its ability to attract wildlife. Quail love to feast on the seed of the black sage. Both butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy the nectar from the aromatic flowers of the black sage. The flower colors vary from white to a pale blue. Some varieties may even have the more rare pale rose colored flowers. The beautiful flowers of the black sage are an added bonus for those looking for a hearty, easy to care for, ground cover plant. They do best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade.
Whether your soil is sandstone, shale, basalt, or granite, black sage can do well there. It needs a minimum of fifteen inches or rain per year to a maximum of forty inches. In drier areas, it is best to plant black sage in soil that retains a bit more moisture. When you call a professional landscaper like Evergreen Landscaping Service, our industry-trained professional landscapers will work with you to ensure the best possible placement for this beautiful ground cover plant. It will add so much to your landscaping, growing quickly to fill in bare spaces, and also bringing in wildlife that enjoy its sweet flowers.
