A sophisticated color choice for Willis and Houston landscapes, 'Coral' Autumn Sage offers a softer alternative to the traditional reds and pinks. This Texas native hybrid is loved for its unique peachy-orange tones and aromatic foliage. It is built to withstand the intense Southeast Texas humidity and heat. To ensure it thrives in local clay, plant it in a raised bed or a well-drained sunny location; proper drainage is the secret to keeping this Salvia happy through our rainy seasons.
Exposure
Full Sun (Required for the best color and bloom production)
Height x Width
2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide
Water
Low once established. Very drought-tolerant, but requires sharp drainage to survive heavy Houston rain events.
Zones
7 - 9
Fertilization
Apply a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing to keep the plant compact and floriferous.
Pruning
Prune back by about one-third in late winter to prevent the plant from becoming woody and to encourage a fresh flush of spring flowers.
