SUNLIGHT

• Full sun (6 - 8 hours)

GROWTH

• 1 - 2 ft tall

• 0.5 - 1.5 ft spread

• Clumps or mats 

• Low-growing and no vegetative spread

WATER

• Requires consistent water 1 - 2” per week when young and freshly planted. Once it's established (3-5 years) then it becomes drought-tolerant and can thrive on rain water alone.

BLOSSOM SEASON

• Late summer (July - August) to fall

POLLINATOR

• Pasture sage does not attract pollinating insects. However, it serves as a food plant for the larvae of certain moths and other insects.

PREFERED SOIL

• Well-draining, dry soil. It's highly adaptable and thrives in poor soil (sandy to loamy) conditions.

FERTILIZER

• None required

MEDICINAL

• Topical use: reduce swelling, treat wounds and nosebleeds. 

• Tea: indigestion, coughs, heartburn and antispasmodic.

DYES

• Yellow, green and brown

WHY CHOSEN

• It's common and well-adapted to the Okanagan, thriving in dry conditions.

• Pasture sage contributes to soil health by preventing erosion and improving water retention with its deep roots.
