| Botanical Name | Salvia leucantha 'Santa Barbara' PPAF |
| Description | A compact, dwarf version of the traditional Mexican Bush Sage, 'Santa Barbara' is perfectly suited for Houston's long, hot growing season. It features attractive silvery-green foliage and velvety purple flower spikes. While it is highly adaptable to most local soil types, it is particularly sensitive to "wet feet" during the winter. Ensure it is planted in a spot with good drainage or in a raised bed to prevent root rot during our rainy periods. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for best bloom and form) |
| Height x Width | 2-3' H x 2-3' W |
| Water | Low once established; very drought tolerant. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring. Over-fertilization can lead to leggy growth. |
| Pruning | Cut back to the ground in late winter after the danger of frost has passed to make room for new growth. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
