I had three bushes in my back yard in Arizona. I used to approach it early in the morning when it was in full bloom and stand very still and just take in the chorus of the bees. I LOVED that experience, and keep meaning to try to recreate up here. It must be possible, right? Thanks for reminding me of my fondness for its beauty. Hi, Pam, I LOVE Texas sage.

I've seen them blooming here in Houston, although our climate has more humidity than these prefer. I have seen some in our neighborhood in large containers blooming. Perhaps keeping their feet dry helps. What a beautiful plant. I’ve seen them blooming here in Houston, although our climate has more humidity than these prefer.

I LOVE that! I looked up the zones and it says 8a and I'm 7b. I'd be pushing the edge on that. In a mild winter... but, I'd cry if I grew it and then lost it! Cameron Oh my! I LOVE that!

This rain will have dashed a lot of the blooms to the ground. I’m afraid I may have missed the Austin flowering. This rain will have dashed a lot of the blooms to the ground.
