Shrubs - Texas Sage - Lynn's Legacy

Olive green leaves with masses of big lavender blooms! This is one of the most floriferous selections of Texas Sage ever made by famed Texas plantsman Mr. Lynn Lowery. These are green, not gray, shrubs that grow moderately fast and sturdily to a manageable size of 4 to 5 ft. They are adaptable, tolerant of low desert heat and high humidity. With regular supplemental summer irrigation in Phoenix, these shrubs will be healthy and long-lived. Their real show starts during summer when rising relative humidity forces copious amounts of big, bright lavender blooms that completely cover the stems turning the entire plant into a purple mass. Avoid shearing these plants. Give them room and time to grow to full maturity.
