Compact Texas Sage is a charming shrub that can grow up to 5 feet tall and wide. Its low canopy makes it perfect for planting under power lines. This lovely plant grows at a moderate pace and, with the right care, can live for over 40 years!
It enjoys full sunlight and well-drained soil with dry to average moisture levels. While it can't thrive in standing water, it's great at handling drought conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or moisture-saving landscapes. Compact Texas Sage thrives in poor alkaline soils and urban environments, as it's highly tolerant of pollution.
This versatile shrub is perfect for both outdoor landscapes and containers. Its upright growth habit makes it a fantastic 'thriller' in a container, where it can be surrounded by smaller plants or those with trailing edges. It can also shine beautifully when grown alone in a container. Just keep in mind that when it's in a container, it might not perform exactly as the tag suggests. Plus, outdoor container plants may need a bit more frequent watering than those planted in the ground!
