Texas sage is an evergreen shrub that belongs to the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae. It has tender grey hairs that cover the leaves, giving the foliage a silver-grey appearance. Because it’s drought resistant, it’s a wonderful low-maintenance plant to add to any garden.
Texas sage is very drought tolerant and requires minimal water once established. It can survive on natural rainfall in its native range. A general rule is to water deeply but infrequently.
Texas sage is fond of full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
It prefers well-drained, rocky, or sandy soils with a pH of 6.0 to 8.5.
You can apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
Prune lightly to shape or maintain its size in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
