| Description | Parry's sage is limited in distribution to southeastern Arizona, but has potential as a plant for central and northern Arizona gardens. Flowers are a delicate lavender, and leaves are opposite and covered in tiny white hairs which give the foliage an overall grey appearance. Individuals are typically mounding or sprawling shrubs with a distinct preference for well draining, sandy/rocky soils. |
