Texas sage. Dense, slow-growing evergreen subshrub 3-4’ tall with silvery-gray foliage and bell-shaped, purple flowers that appear sporadically throughout the year, and most heavily during summer. Often found naturally in dry climates and impoverished soil, Texas sage tolerates heat, wind and some alkali if drainage is good. Use as a clipped hedge, or mass it for use as a tall groundcover. Provide occasional water once established. Hardy to 20F. Southwestern North America.
