Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Sand sagebrush is a native shrub that grows naturally on the shortgrass prairie of Colorado's eastern plains. Its most attractive quality is its feathery blue leaves. The thin leaves and arching branches create a soft, graceful appearance in the landscape.
Sand sagebrush is tolerant of weather extremes, including hail. It can grow on very sandy soil with little extra water. Makes a great choice for windy, dry, sandy locations. The flowers are hardly noticeable.
There are two sand sagebrushes growing at the Xeriscape Garden. They are carefree, graceful shrubs that create a nice textural contrast for other plants.
None generally required, but can be cut back to ground level to rejuvenate the plant every few years.
