Hummingbird Sage

Get Ready for Your Own Hummingbird Happy Hour!

Picture this: tiny jewel-toned hummingbirds zipping around your garden like nature's little helicopters, all because you planted one amazing plant! Hummingbird Sage is basically the neighborhood hotspot for every pollinator in the Bay Area. Bees buzz over for visits, butterflies flutter by for snacks, and those adorable hummingbirds? They'll practically set up camp in your yard!

This cheerful little showoff puts on quite the display with its hot pink and red flower spikes that look like tiny fireworks. Plus, it smells fantastic – think of it as your garden's natural air freshener. And here's the best part for busy Bay Area folks: this plant is a total overachiever that does most of the work for you. It spreads out on its own (kind of like how sourdough starter takes over your kitchen), eventually creating a gorgeous living carpet.

Perfect for Our Foggy, Funky Climate

Love those shady spots under your oak trees or alongside your house? Hummingbird Sage does too! It's like the introvert of the plant world – actually prefers hanging out in the shadows rather than baking in full sun.

And here's where it gets really good for us water-conscious Bay Area gardeners: once this beauty settles in (give it about a year), it's basically self-sufficient. No more weekend watering guilt trips! Though if you want to keep it looking extra lush and green during our dry summers, a little drink now and then will make it absolutely glow.
