A standout Autumn Sage variety prized for its vibrant, non-fading red flowers and compact, mounding habit. It is exceptionally resilient in Houston's intense summer sun. While highly drought-tolerant, it must have sharp drainage; it will struggle in low spots or heavy, saturated clay that holds water for long periods.
Exposure
Full Sun (Preferable) to Partial Shade
Height x Width
2-3' Height x 2-3' Width
Water
Low once established. Very drought tolerant, but requires well-drained soil to avoid root rot during rainy seasons.
Zones
7 - 10
Fertilization
Use a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid heavy nitrogen to prevent leggy growth.
Pruning
Prune back by about one-third in late winter to maintain a tidy shape and encourage vigorous spring blooming.
