It gets its handsomeness from its silvery-grey foliage and its beauty from the pretty purple flowers. What's really neat is that the flowers bloom at the tips of every stem any time it rains during the warm season, which is year round in frost-free climates. Desperado Texas Sage is ideal as an accent or grouping in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. and is extremely impressive as a colorful hedge.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 5 to 6 feet tall and wide, the Desperado Texas Sage is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or in straight or staggered rows to form a very colorful natural hedge.

It prefers a neutral to alkaline soil ranging from 6.5 to 8.5 on the pH scale and is very drought tolerant when established. Rocky and sandy soils are no problem and neither are pests or diseases. It needs no care or special trimming but removing the tips of the branches in late winter or summer, before or after flowering, will keep it bushier and neater. Rain or irrigation triggers the plant to bloom during the warm seasons so a deep soaking during extended periods of drought is advised to encourage flowering. As with so many other ornamental shrubs this one does not like a constantly soggy or wet soil. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on the link below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant, prune, fertilize and water Texas Sage plants...\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For Texas Sage Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                           \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48142712832154,"sku":"D2LSC 588711743","price":69.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/Texas-Sage-Desperado-5.jpg?v=1779908925","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/desperado-texas-sage-leucophyllum-frutescens-3-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
