A somewhat obscure, native sage, this is Salvia pachyphylla, known as the blue, rose or mountain desert sage. It grows at relatively high elevations on dry, roc...ky slopes, and is native to California, Nevada and Arizona. It is in bloom now in the new California Area desert bed along the lower road to the Conference Center. - Chris C #ucbg #californianativeplant #salviapachyphylla #sage
