About This Plant
Dappled or afternoon shade. Nearly evergreen, with deeply veined leaves and a fiery red flowers in spring and fall. A small shrub, it prefers rocky settings in its native Chisos mountain habitat, so avoid poorly-drained heavy clays.
Mountain sage’s autumn bloom is well- timed to attract migrating hummingbirds on their way south.
Maintenance
None required. Can be cut back in late winter, or as needed to control size.
