Munzii is a worthwhile Californian native shrub which is easy to grow.   It prefers full sun and not too much water and wouldn’t be thrilled about humidity.   Munzii will take about a -7C frost.

Munzii could be one of the smaller growing of the similar Californians,  clevelandii,  mellifera and leucophylla.  It will be about a metre high and maybe wide.   It gets a woody stem fairly rapidly so early pruning in its life – pinching out – is a good idea.   Munzii is spring flowering with whorls of mauve flowers.

Oddly munzii doesn’t get much of a mention in Betsy Clebsch’s New Book of Salvias but does get a page in Christian Froissart’s book on salvias (Sauges) which is written in French.

Out of stock.
