Coastal Sagebrush is a type of shrub that primarily grows in the coastal regions of southern California and northern Mexico. It thrives in dry, sandy soils and is well-adapted to the Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. This plant is an important part of the California coastal sage scrub ecosystem, providing habitat for various wildlife species. The leaves of Coastal Sagebrush are small, gray-green, and aromatic, helping the plant conserve water. It typically reaches heights of 1 to 3 feet and produces small, yellow flowers in the spring. Coastal Sagebrush plays a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and supporting biodiversity in its native habitat.
