Remove damaged leaves to the trash (not the compost pile).
#Sage in spanish full
I have seen Texas sages abandoned by the side of the freeway in El Paso, happily blooming their heads off in the full heat of summer, after the rainy season has arrived. Some will also have more and larger flowers than others, giving you a wide palette to choose from. More rarely, you may even find some with white blooms.

But you may also found varieties with a greener leaf and deeper lavender blooms. The most common cenizos have gray-green leaves with light lavender flowers. Which they will be, since most of the living tissue will have been removed. This is not a good practice, and will cause the shrubs to look very ugly, twiggy, and almost dead. Unfortunately, this shrub is often planted in rows and sheared back to make a hedge. Overly-pruned cenizos will show lots of die-back, especially in the center of the plant, with only a little growth at the tips. So when choosing this plant, be careful to get a variety that has the characteristics that you want, especially when it comes to size.Ĭenizo does not respond well to heavy pruning, so if it outgrows its space in your landscape, you won’t be able to prune it back and keep it smaller.

There are a multitude of different varieties of cenizo to choose from, differing not only in leaf and flower color, but also in height and width. In fact, this shrub does not like ‘wet feet,’ so be very careful if planting in clay soils.Ĭenizos require full sun to bloom and be healthy, and really don’t tolerate shady areas. Texas sage is also known as Texas sage, purple sage, Texas ranger, and many other common names.Ĭenizo is extremely drought tough and needs very little water once established.
