Texas Sage, scientifically known as Leucophyllum frutescens, is a popular and versatile shrub native to the arid regions of Texas and the Southwest United States. Texas sage is a popular ornamental plant, commonly shaped into hedges and blooms over the entire surface. Plant Texas sage in full sun, this shrub loves the heat! Texas sage is also very tolerant of cooler temperatures, down to 10° F. This plant prefers soils with good drainage. Texas sage is susceptible to chlorosis and root rot when grown in heavy or poorly draining soil. Once established Water Texas sage every other week in the summer, and once a month in winter.

Texas Sage Overview

Appearance: Texas Sage is a dense, evergreen shrub known for its silvery-gray foliage and prolific blooming cycles. The plant produces tubular, purple, pink, or white flowers after rainfall or in response to humidity changes, adding a burst of color to the landscape.

Growth Habit: This shrub typically grows compactly, ranging from 3 to 8 feet in height and width, depending on the variety. Its rounded form and dense foliage make it a popular choice for hedges, borders, or standalone plantings in gardens and landscapes.

Drought Tolerance: Texas Sage is well-adapted to hot and dry conditions, making it a perfect choice for xeriscaping and water-wise gardens. The plant's ability to thrive in low-water environments with minimal maintenance requirements makes it a resilient and sustainable landscaping option.

Blooming Season: Texas Sage is known for its impressive blooming season, which occurs sporadically throughout the year but is particularly abundant after periods of rain or high humidity. The vibrant flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity in the garden.

Landscaping Uses: Texas Sage is commonly used in landscaping for its hardiness, drought tolerance, and ornamental value. It can be planted as a hedge, specimen plant, accent shrub, or mass planting to create visual interest and provide texture in garden beds.

Pruning and Maintenance: Regular pruning after flowering can help maintain the shape and promote new growth in Texas Sage. While the plant is relatively low-maintenance, occasional trimming can enhance its appearance and encourage healthy development.

Texas Sage Landscape Design Ideas.

Texas Sage is a versatile and resilient shrub that adds beauty, color, and textural interest to landscapes with its striking foliage and vibrant blooms. Whether used as a drought-tolerant feature plant or as part of a xeriscape design, Texas Sage is a popular choice for creating visually appealing and sustainable outdoor spaces.

Incorporating Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) into your landscape can bring a touch of Southwest charm with its drought-tolerant nature and stunning purple blooms. Here are tailored design ideas to showcase the beauty of Texas Sage in your outdoor space:

Desert Garden Oasis: Create a desert garden oasis by planting Texas Sage amidst Agave, Bromeliads, succulents, and other drought-tolerant plants. The vibrant purple flowers of the sage will provide a striking contrast against the arid landscape, adding color and visual interest.

Xeriscape Showcase: Utilize Texas Sage as a focal point in a xeriscape garden design, where water conservation is key. Pair the sage with gravel mulch, decorative rocks, and ornamental grasses to create a low-maintenance and eco-friendly landscape.

Native Plant Haven: Incorporate Texas Sage into a garden featuring native plants of the Southwest region. Combine the sage with agaves, prickly pears, and desert shrubs to create a naturalistic habitat that attracts local wildlife and celebrates the beauty of indigenous flora.

Accent Border Planting: Use Texas Sage as an accent border plant along pathways, driveways, or garden beds. The dense foliage and profusion of blooms can provide a colorful and fragrant border that defines the edges of your landscape and adds curb appeal.

Pollinator Paradise: Attract pollinators like bees and butterflies by planting Texas Sage in a pollinator garden. The nectar-rich flowers of the sage serve as a valuable food source for pollinating insects, contributing to a thriving ecosystem in your backyard.

Ensure proper sunlight exposure and well-drained soil for Texas Sage to flourish. Consider planting in clusters or drifts to create a cohesive look in your landscape design. Regular pruning after flowering can help maintain the shape of the sage and encourage new growth, ensuring a vibrant display year after year.

Planting & Care

Care Guide

PLANTING AND CARE - Dig a hole approximately twice as wide as your new plant’s root ball and deep enough so that the top of the root ball is parallel with the ground level. Place the plant in the hole and ensure that it is situated upright, use the excavated soil to back fill around the root ball, tamp down to ensure air pockets are eliminated, thoroughly soak with a hose as you fill in the dirt. A 2-3 inch layer of organic hardwood mulch is strongly recommended, it will help retain moisture and discourage weed growth.

SUN EXPOSURE - Thrives in FULL SUN

WATER - Water twice a week for the first growing season, once established rain water will suffice.

FERTILIZING – No need to fertilize right away, We fertilize our plants during the production phase with slow release fertilizer which can last an additional 2-3 months supplying residual nutrients to the plant. Once fertilizing is due, you may use a fertilizer formulated for flowering plants, preferably a slow release fertilizer 180 days duration, fertilize during spring or fall base on label instructions.

INSECTS OR DESEASES - Here’s another plus, this tree is not regularly affected by pests, however in the event that scale, mealy bugs, or mites are found to affect the plant, they can be controlled by applying horticultural neem oil that can be sprayed directly onto the insects, A second and third treatment, when using oils, will be necessary. Space out the sprays at 2 weeks intervals to break up the mealybug life cycle.

2nd time ordering from Eureka Farms, and it’s been a great experience! Super fast shipping, healthy and well wrapped/transported plants. I’m also impressed that I was able to order the small 1-gallon Texas Sage from them, as it seemed hard to find in stock at a reasonable price with others. Love Eureka Farms!

WILLIAM W.

All the original leaves fell of but through careful attention I got new ones to sprout.

Dawn J.

No photos yet because there isn't much to see since they have only been in the ground a few weeks. But they are thriving and growing--already visibly bigger than they were when the order arrived. We've had some wild extremes of weather this late summer; everything from record breaking heat to exceptionally cool and rainy and they seem to be taking it all in stride. One even sent up flowers only three days after being planted when the barometer dropped, living up to the name barometer plant. I am in mountainous northern NM, zone 7, and planted them in a particularly hot, dry area of the yard. Now, fingers crossed they do well through winter!

George C.

Good

Stephen R.

Couple of broken branches, guess FedEx had it upside down. No big deal, doing great!

Diego

Product arrived dead. I contacted the company and they said it was dormant. Plants never came out of “dormancy” because they were in fact dead. Company now refuses to contact me back or attempt to make it right.

MaryAnn B.

The plant came well packed and am very pleased.

Barbara B.

Excellent customer service as well as outstanding packing of plants! The plants arrived quickly after ordering. I was impressed with the packaging for the two Texas Sage plants. The pots were covered in plastic and secured in a manner to keep soil in place. Then the plants had a paper wrap to protect them. A bamboo rod was used to keep the plants upright during shipping. Even though FedExp damaged the box, and one plant box was torn open, the plant itself did not suffer any damage. I highly recommend this company.
