California's drought-tolerant native plants

Our newest demo garden, in partnership with the City of Visalia and Urban Tree Foundation, is at the new Packwood Creek Park at the corner of County Center and Visalia Parkway. Planting should take place there this fall. For the next several months, Master Gardeners will be sharing information on some of the plants found in these gardens. We hope you enjoy and learn from these articles, visit our gardens and watch them grow, and choose some of these plants for your own yards. At the demo garden at Hurley School, we have small-scale waterwise front and back yards displaying “Gardening Central Valley” style. I have selected three California native plants from the front yard there to share with you . They are Cleveland sage (Salvia clevelandii), Apricot mallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua), and Sulfur flower buckwheat (Eriogonum umbellatum). Cleveland sage, Salvia clevelandii, the fragrant sage, is a perennial plant that is native to Southern California and northern Baja California, growing below 2500 feet in elevation in chaparral habitat. The plant was named in 1874 by Asa Gray, honoring plant collector Daniel Cleveland. Cleveland sage grows 4 feet tall and wide, but can easily expand to 8 feet. The shrubs provide good hiding places for birds. It has fragrant gray foliage and blue flowers between May and August. Cleveland Sage grows so abundantly that you might be tempted to grow it so you can bring in armloads of flowers. But, beware, this plant has such significant fragrance that some find that just one flower stem can be overwhelming. This fragrance does help in keeping away many garden pests. VISALIA TIMES-DELTA AND TULARE ADVANCE-REGISTER Visalia, Tulare have same state-approved water saving target This drought tolerant shrub needs full sun and prefers well drained soil. Pruning is optional as spent brown flower pods will be covered by new growth and blend in with a natural setting. It is found in abundance along many of Visalia’s trails and bike paths. Apricot mallow, Sphaeralcea ambigua, is a perennial shrub native to parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. This fuzzy, grayish, often sprawling plant bears large bright orange-red to apricot flowers, resembling a poppy, in clusters on many erect, slender branches. These flowers are great for bouquets. It blooms from Feb... (Visalia Times-Delta)
