{"product_id":"lepechinia-fragrans","title":"Lepechinia fragrans","description":"\u003cp\u003eAromatic, sculptural, and seriously underused, \u003cem\u003eLepechinia fragrans\u003c\/em\u003e is a California-native shrub with the kind of quiet presence that steals the show. Soft, gray-green felted leaves release a heady, sage-like fragrance the moment they're brushed, while slender stems carry long parades of pale lavender to dusty-pink tubular flowers from spring into summer. This Channel Islands endemic grows into a relaxed, mounding shrub about 4 to 5 feet tall, with all the elegance of a Mediterranean herb and none of the fussiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrant Pitcher Sage thrives in full sun to part shade in lean, well-drained soils and shrugs off summer drought once established. It's deeply deer-resistant, beloved by hummingbirds and other pollinators, and adds wonderful evergreen structure to dry gardens. Hardy in zones 8-10, it appreciates a light pruning after bloom to keep its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it in a hot, dry border with other California natives like buckwheat, ceanothus, and salvias, or use it to soften the edge of a path where its scent will reward every passerby. A graceful, fragrant treasure for the water-wise garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annie's Annuals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43541661843515,"sku":"AA656","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3455\/6475\/files\/Lepechinia_fragrans_2.png?v=1779568918","url":"https:\/\/www.anniesannuals.com\/products\/lepechinia-fragrans","provider":"Annie's Annuals \u0026 Perennials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
