Autumn Sage

Overview

About Autumn Sage

The Autumn Sage plant offers months of color. It's native to Central and West Texas, making it an excellent addition to your Austin landscaping. Thanks to its high heat and drought tolerance, it's a great low-maintenance plant that doesn't require much help to thrive.

Autumn Sage is an ornamental plant thriving in Austin and many Texas regions. It functions as a subshrub with a woody base and low mature height. Fully grown plants reach approximately three feet in height and equal width. A key characteristic is its fast-growing nature — newly planted specimens in Austin typically achieve maximum height during their first growing season. In Austin landscaping, Autumn Sage remains evergreen year-round. Flower spikes bloom from spring through fall in multiple color varieties including pink, deep red, white, orange, and peach shades.

Maintenance

Care Instructions

Autumn Sage is a low-maintenance plant. Once established, it rarely needs supplemental watering outside of drought periods. It also doesn't need fertilizer. Most plants will do better without it. Pruning can manage plant shape and density. Most established specimens require only annual winter pruning to ground level.
