LAREDO TEXAS SAGE 2gal

Description

Laredo Texas Sage is the “silver lining” every Arizona gardener needs when the summer temperatures start to soar. This rugged evergreen shrub typically matures into a stunning soft mound reaching 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, though it can be easily tucked back with light pruning. It is a true sun-worshipper that performs best in full, intense sun, where its silvery-gray foliage can really shimmer. The magic happens right before our summer rains; the plant senses the humidity and explodes into a cloud of amethyst-purple flowers, earning its nickname as the “Barometer Bush.” Beyond its desert beauty, it is incredibly animal-resistant; the fuzzy texture of the leaves is a natural deterrent that keeps deer and rabbits looking elsewhere for a snack. It’s a water-wise champion that brings a cooling, structural elegance to your landscape while asking for almost nothing in return.
