Distribution Canada central and western states United States Midwest, western states
A grey-white shrub a yard high, clothed with starry down. Leaves linear, 1⁄2 to 11⁄2 in. long, like those of lavender. Flowers in slender panicles 4 to 9 in. long, 1 to 2 in. wide. It inhabits dry regions, and is known as “white sage”. Not apparently so good for gardens as K. ceratioides, from which it is distinguished by the more recurved margins of the leaves.
