This low mounding perennial, with fine leaves and white to pinkish daisy-like flowers, is an excellent asset to rock gardens.

Mexican Bush Sage

Common name:Mexican Bush Sage
Botanical name:Salvia leucantha

The Mexican sage is a bushy shrub that grows 3-4 ft. tall and wide. It has hairy white stems, gray-green leaves and velvet like purple flower spikes that bloom summer through fall. This shrub tolerates sun, light shade, little water, and is hardy to 15 degrees F. The Mexican sage is drought tolerant and attracts hummingbirds. -Cornflower Farms

Chalk Fingers

Common name:Chalk Fingers
Botanical name:Senecio vitalis

Moderately fast-growing evergreen succulent to 12-18” tall x 3-4’ wide. This attractive species forms a uniform-looking mound of long, narrow, upright-growing bluish-green foliage that makes a wonderful contrast to deeper-colored, broad-leafed shrubs or succulents. Adding further appeal to this popular species are the cream-colored flowers that appear from late-spring to early-summer. Great for beds, borders, or for use in mixed succulent plantings (ground or container). Requires well-drained soil and little water once fully established, and thrives in a sun to light shade exposure.
