Silver Cloud Sage is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its stunning silvery-white foliage and profuse lavender-purple blooms. Native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, this plant is exceptionally heat- and drought-tolerant, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. Its soft, velvety leaves shimmer in the sunlight, giving gardens a bright, almost glowing appearance even in the hottest months. When humidity or rain arrives, the plant bursts into bloom, often creating a dramatic, cloud-like flush of color—hence its name.

Ideal for xeriscaping and low-maintenance landscapes, Silver Cloud requires minimal water once established and rarely needs pruning due to its naturally compact, rounded growth habit. It’s perfect for use as a hedge, border plant, or accent in rock gardens and desert-style landscapes. Not only is it visually appealing year-round, but it also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to the garden. With its unique blend of durability and beauty, Silver Cloud Sage is a standout choice for sustainable and striking outdoor designs.

"Odds are, you like - maybe love - the smell of sage after it rains. Do yourself a favor and plant some. Now only do they smell good, but they look good in a xeroscaped yard! "
