Cold Hardy Pink Texas Sage
Salvia greggii 'Cold Hardy Pink'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This drought-tolerant North American native produces beautiful hot pink flowers amidst aromatic green foliage from late spring to early fall. While hardier than the typical Texas Sage, this compact, semi-woody shrub still benefits from some cold protection and is happiest when planted in the spring, giving it time to establish roots before winter. Irresistible to hummingbirds and bees, it is also rabbit and deer resistant. Great against south-facing walls and other protected locations with well-drained soils and in containers.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Shrub - Renewal
Plant Care: Shrub - Renewal (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on younger stems, which emerge from the base of the plant): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. When pruning, remove 1/3rd of the oldest branches by cutting at the base of the shrub. Monitor for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis.
