Native to the hilly Edwards Plateau in Texas, also parts of Arizona and in Mexico. Grows in well-drained areas dappled shade to partly sunny. The name Cedar Sage refers to it often growing in the shade of the native Ashe Junipers, commonly called mountain cedars. After being established, it is drought tolerant. Besides the ones in my yard, some grow in native rocky soil near my driveway and only get rainfall in this arid climate, yet they are spreading and they bloom every year. The foliage is fragrant.
