Sonoma Sage, Creeping Sage

Common name:Sonoma Sage, Creeping Sage
Botanical name:Salvia sonomensis

This low growing, native groundcover has glaucous (covered with whitish, waxy material) green leaves with blue violet flowers that bloom in the spring and summer.

Snow-In-Summer

Common name:Snow-In-Summer
Botanical name:Cerastium tomentosum

Masses of snow white flowers highlight this plant during the early summer season.

Lamb's Ears

Common name:Lamb's Ears
Botanical name:Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet'

This variety of Lamb's Ear does not produce flowers worthy of having. It is grown for the beautiful and soft silver grey foliage.

Woolly Yarrow

Common name:Woolly Yarrow
Botanical name:Achillea tomentosa

Short stems of flat-topped golden flowers accent the deep green, wooly, fern-like leaves of the mat formed by this plant. It is a fine performer in rock gardens and at the front of herbaceous perennial borders. Yarrows propagate easily from rooted stems or division, which should be performed in the early spring or fall. Following bloom, dead head the plant and divide the clumps when it appears crowded.

Soils and Compost:

Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.

Integrated Pest Management:

Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
