Mexican Bush Sage

Mexican Bush Sage produces showy spikes of velvety purple flowers from summer through fall. Its long, arching stems and soft, gray-green foliage create a full, airy presence in the landscape. This late-season bloomer adds vertical texture and vivid color when many other perennials are fading. A popular shrub with a pleasant fragrance that attracts pollinators and hummingbirds.

• A herbaceous perennial

Mexican Bush Sage prefers full sun and loose, well-drained soil. It is hardy in USDA zones 8–10 and grows well in most areas of Texas, including North Texas, where it often returns each spring. Cut back hard in early spring to promote dense new growth and a more uniform flowering display later in the season.
