Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Will it survive zone 6 winters

    Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) is not hardy in Zone 6 and typically struggles to survive the cold winters. It thrives in warmer climates, particularly in USDA Zones 8-11, where it can tolerate heat and drought. In Zone 6, it’s best to grow Texas Sage in containers that can be brought indoors during winter, or choose a more cold-hardy shrub for your landscape.

  • I live in coastal southeastern NC with a lot of rain and humidity. Zone 8, can I grow this if I plant it in a rock garden

    Yes, you can grow a Texas sage plant in coastal southeastern NC (Zone 8) if planted in a rock garden. Texas sage thrives in well-drained soil, and a rock garden would help prevent the soil from becoming too saturated. While Texas sage prefers drier conditions, planting it in a spot with excellent drainage can help it adapt to the higher humidity and rainfall in your area. Make sure it gets full sun to ensure healthy growth.

Disappointed by Packaging

My 3 gallon Texas Sage arrived quickly, but there was no indication on the box that it was fragile or should be kept upright. Consequently, it was delivered on its side, with a good amount of the soil outside the pot, and with several broken limbs. It has also been trimmed to fit a box that wasn't big enough for it.

In comparison, a cheap 1 gallon Texas Sage recently purchased from an Amazon seller with free shipping arrived in a similar size box marked with "fragile" and "this way up", and arrived in much better condition.

I would not buy again.
