Handsome and hardy, Texas sage is an outstanding South Florida landscape choice with its silvery foliage, purple flowers and drought-tolerant nature.

It’s the perfect stand-out in a landscape of green-green-green.

The lavender to purple blossoms appears on and off all year amid small, soft, silver or gray-green leaves. Though not a true sage, this mid-size shrub is easy to care for and doesn’t like to be fussed over. It prefers full sun, and we suggest fertilizing with Sure-Gro’s Bougainvillea & Bloom Special 6-8-10.
