How to grow Texas sage – for a native evergreen shrub with pretty pink blooms

A Texas sage shrub in a garden border, with silver foliage and purple blooms.

With silver-green foliage and dazzling purple-pink blooms, Texas sage is a shrub that demands attention. This North American plant is known as the 'State Native Shrub of Texas', seen growing in front and backyards, along verges and lining the roadside across The Lone Star State.

As you might be able to tell from its native environment in Texas, Arizona and Mexico, this shrub is tough and resilient in warm, southern climates and desert-like terrains. The silver-green foliage is an adaptation, allowing this plant to tolerate searing sun for most of the day.
