Texas Sage

Leucophyllum frutescens

Texas Sage is a beautiful plant with unique lore. It's a Texas native, making it one of the best flowering plants in your Austin landscaping. The sage is low-maintenance and slow-growing, providing your property with years of beauty.

Texas Sage is a favorite among Austin landscapers for its low-maintenance nature. This unique plant has many colorful nicknames, many of which reference its penchant for blooming after a heavy rain. While Texas Sage is drought-tolerant and usually doesn’t need supplemental watering outside of extended droughts, it becomes showy after rain.

Leucophyllum frutescens produces violet flowers in dense clusters. They appear on tall stalks, creating a breathtaking plumage. The flowers will fall off after a few days. However, the leaves retain their beauty.

Texas Sage is an evergreen with fuzzy, silver-green leaves. Even when not in bloom, the plant greatly enhances your Austin landscaping. In addition to not requiring much watering, Texas Sage doesn’t need fertilization or significant pruning. Many landscapers prune the plant in early spring to manage its growth and promote density. But outside of that, you don’t have to worry much about overgrowth. The plant is a slow grower, and it can take around two years to reach maturity. In the best of conditions, Texas Sage can become a statement plant! Leucophyllum frutescens can grow up to 10 feet tall and just as wide with the right soil and sun exposure.
