Lepechinia fragrans

Prepare for incredible fragrance! Fragrant pitcher sage brings amazing aromatic foliage and unique white flowers that seem to glow in shaded gardens. This native beauty is like having a natural perfume garden.

The large heart-shaped leaves release incredible minty fragrance when touched, while the unusual white flowers bloom in spring and early summer. The plant forms attractive shrubby mounds in partial shade.

This shade-loving native is perfect for woodland gardens, north-facing slopes, or anywhere you want fragrant beauty in partial shade. It's surprisingly drought tolerant once established. Incredible fragrance for shaded spots!
