Mountain sagebrush is an evergreen shrub native to California that grows up to 3 feet high and wide. It has wedge-shaped silvery leaves with a sweet aroma held on erect branches. Over time, the vase-shaped plants form gnarled trunks and bear inconspicuous summer flowers on 1-foot stems. Mountain sagebrush thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and occasional watering, and is hardy in temperatures down to 0°F.
