Beach Sage is a fast-growing evergreen shrub with aromatic grey-green leaves and rusty-colored flowers. It typically grows 0.6 to 0.9 meters tall and wide and can live up to 10 years. This drought-tolerant plant can survive long periods without water. Medicinal uses include tea as an eyewash, and as a decongestant and treatment for colds and coughs. Indigenous people also use sage in sacred smudging ceremonies to prevent negativity from entering a space.
