Chaparral Gardens

Southern California Chaparral
with Manzanita

Plants for this community are some of the showiest of our native flora.  Salvias, such as purple and white sage, are particularly attractive: not only to humans, but also to pollinators.  Rich in texture, color, and fragrance, natives from the South Coastal Sage plant community provide a rich palette for a Mediterranean garden.  Ideal settings are hillsides that face south or west with a coastal influence.  Choose from Buckwheats and evergreen shrubs like Summer Holly and Lemonade Berry.
