Organic & Hand Harvested, 15+ seeds

The Texas sage is sometimes referred to in Phoenix as the purple sage. The Texas sage is one of several desert plants that I recommend for people who want desert plants that are perennial (you need to plant them only once), hardy, low care, relatively drought resistant, easy to find, pretty cheap to buy, and provide lovely color many times during the year.


The botanical name for Texas sage or purple sage is Leucophyllum frutescens. These are evergreen desert shrubs that flower several times throughout the year.

Sage bushes take full sun and are drought-tolerant. Those beautiful bright purple blooms will come out after rain or when it is humid. You can also encourage blooming by giving them extra water. Let the ground dry out between waterings.

I let mine grow wild and some are over 15 feet tall!
