Fragrant Pitcher Sage (Lepechinia fragrans) is an evergreen shrub native to California, notable for its upright, multi-branched form and aromatic green leaves. It produces lavender flowers from spring through fall, set against dark, fuzzy calyces that enhance its visual appeal. This plant thrives in full to partial sun, adapts well to various soil types, and requires minimal watering. It supports local wildlife by attracting hummingbirds, insects, and hosting specific moth and butterfly species. Prune cautiously.
Endemic to California, fragrant pitcher sage is found in open areas in chaparral, in dry ravines, on rocky slopes and ridgetops, between 200 and 3500 feet.
