A stunning Mountain sage. Likes dry, hot areas and blooms in fall. The plant is loved by hummingbirds but they left for Mexico before this thing was blooming. Sad to say \u2013 they missed out. Mine is only 3 feet tall, but that is because of the crappy soil I have it in and the fact that we had very little rain this year. Hopefully with some tender loving care it will grow bigger next year. More rain would be nice too!!<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it pretty? \u00a0Grows in dry sunny places and flowers mostly in fall. Mine blessed me with flowers all summer long, but after the rain it just exploded. It\u2019s hardy in zone 8, but I am not sure if it will survive a cold winter here so I\u2019m taking pictures to remember it by.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Glorious Texas sage in bloom. It typically only blooms when a low pressure system comes through. The bees love it! I have 3 Texas sages. The other 2 have been blooming when a low comes around, which was about 3 times this summer. This lazy Texas sage decided that this last rain was the one to do a \u201call or nothing for\u201d \u2013 and here he is in all his glory for the first time. And the bees are buzzing around….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
