Bring the easy elegance of the Southwest to your landscape with the Laredo Texas Sage! This robust shrub, a cultivar of Salvia Greggii, is celebrated for its vibrant rose-pink flowers that appear throughout the warmer months, especially with increased humidity – a delightful treat after a Texas rain. Its compact growth habit, typically reaching 5-6 feet in both height and width, makes it an excellent choice for hedges, borders, or as a standalone specimen. The small, silvery-green leaves provide a lovely contrast to the bright blooms and remain attractive year-round. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and heat-loving, the Laredo Texas Sage thrives in sunny locations and asks for little once established.
Ensure good drainage by incorporating Watters Premium Mulch into the planting area; this will also help conserve moisture during dry spells. Give your new shrub a healthy start by feeding it with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food at planting time to encourage strong roots and abundant flowering.
