Description
A form of Salvia clevelandii that was found near the town of Alpine in San Diego County. The form attracted attention originally because it was growing with full south facing exposure on exposed rock and looked nice. In the ground in the nursery it has proven to be hardy to below 10F, tolerant of clay or sand, healthy in a nursery can(no slight feat for a Salvia clevelandii), tolerant of mulch, and have a decent flower that produces a good show. In other words, it didn't die when we planted it out and forgot to water it, and the Alpine form of Cleveland Sage reminded us of our neglect by putting on its own private flower show.
