Green Cloud Texas Sage

Evergreen Sage Blooms From Spring Through Fall! In bloom, the Green Cloud Texas Sage is one of the most eye-catching shrubs you can find. From spring through fall, the plant sprouts vibrant magenta flowers that make it hard to miss.  The Green Cloud Texas Sage’s flowers aren't your average blooms. Bell-shaped and fuzzy, these blossoms have ruffled petals that will stand out in any gardenscape. The flowers grow along the sage shrub’s stems, covering the evergreen’s blue-green foliage with bright, three-season color.  With its year-round vibrancy, Green Cloud Texas Sage can either be a standout plant or blend into a privacy wall or hedge. Reaching seven feet tall and wide at maturity, the plant is slightly larger than most shrub varieties. Alternatively, you could plant several shrubs near one another. Regularly pruning your Green Cloud Texas Sage will give it a denser growth habit.  What’s more, the Green Cloud Texas Sage more than fits the definition of low maintenance. Native to the plains and deserts of Texas, it is a member of the so-called “Texas Rangers,” a series of drought-tolerant, cold-resistant sun lovers. This, in turn, makes this sage shrub an ideal choice for arid, desert locations. At the same time, it appreciates tropical locations, as well. The high humidity of the rainy season makes the shrub explode with blossoms!  Ready to plant one of the easiest, most colorful shrubs available? Order your Green Cloud Texas Sage today! Planting & Care 1. Planting: Plant in full sunlight; otherwise, the Green Cloud Texas Sage will grow “leggy,” producing long stems with only a few leaves at the top. Also choose a spot with well-draining, alkaline soil, as the plant prefers dry to average soil, and can whither in too much standing water. 2. Watering: Deeply water the plant once a month and let it dry out between watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot. 3. Pruning: Prune in late winter before the shrub starts to flower. Using a hand cutter, trim less than a third of the top growth. The spikier the plant, the more flowers it will produce.  4. Fertilizing: Do not fertilize after planting; this plant prefers poor-quality soil.
