The Aromas sage is a selection that stays more compact than the Cleveland sage and grows to about 3-5 ft. high and wide. It has distinctively fragrant gray-green foliage and whorls of violet-blue flowers in spring/summer. Can withstand strong winds and is deer resistant. Prefers full sun and well draining soil.

Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
