Light: Full sun; provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for dense growth and abundant flowering.
Water: Low water once established. Water deeply, then allow soil to dry between irrigations. In Phoenix, established plants typically benefit from deep watering every 2–3 weeks during hot, dry weather; reduce watering substantially in winter. Water new plants more frequently while roots establish.
Soil: Well-drained sandy, gravelly, or rocky soil; tolerates alkaline desert soils. Avoid persistently wet soil and excessive fertilizer.
Mature size: About 5 feet tall and wide; occasionally larger with age and favorable conditions.
Bloom: Repeated flushes from late spring through fall. Flowers more freely and with less dependence on humidity changes than many other Texas sage cultivars.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen; may thin or lose some foliage during unusually cold weather.
Growth rate: Moderate; slower under very dry conditions.
