Salvia munzii, commonly known as Munz's Sage, is a California native shrub valued for its aromatic gray-green foliage and spikes of vivid violet-blue flowers. This drought-tolerant sage brings a soft, natural look to water-wise gardens and native plant landscapes.

The blooms appear in spring and attract pollinators, making it a lovely choice for wildlife-friendly borders and xeriscapes. Its compact, mounding habit works well in mixed plantings, rock gardens, and slopes where a low-maintenance, flowering shrub is desired.
