Texas Sages

Texas Sages are a dense, slow-growing shrub that tolerate heat, drought and poor soils. We carry several different varieties offering  silvery-gray, greenish gray to lush green foliages.  The beautiful flowers range in shades from pinks, to magentas to bluish purple and are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.  Thrives best planted in the ground in Zones 8-10 where it's hardy.  Can also be planted in patio containers in colder zones for easy of movement and arranging.  Left natural, Texas Sages can grow up to 8 feet tall.  They handle pruning and shaping well and can even be groomed into a small tree form.  Because of its drought tolerance, Texas Sages are often used in xeriscaping plans.  They grow best in soils that are well-drained.  It is sometimes called the "Barometer Bush" because flowering is triggered by humidity or high soil moisture after rains.  These plants love the sun and produce their flowers most abundantly when they receive 6-8 hours of bright light.
