| Botanical Name | Salvia greggii 'White' |
| Description | A must-have for the Houston metro area, 'Greggii White' is a resilient Texas native shrubby perennial. It is exceptionally heat and drought-tolerant once established. While it can adapt to many soil types, it is very sensitive to "wet feet." In areas with heavy clay soil, it is essential to plant in raised beds or amend the soil to ensure excellent drainage, especially during our rainy seasons, to prevent root rot. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (At least 6 hours for best blooming) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 feet tall x 2-3 feet wide |
| Water | Low once established; avoid overwatering. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 (Reliable perennial for Southeast Texas) |
| Fertilization | Minimal; a light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring is plenty. |
| Pruning | Prune back by one-third in late winter and again in mid-summer to encourage fresh blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | High (Aromatic foliage deters browsing) |
