This is one of the very best plants I have found to use where water is scarce. I had one planted by the mailbox and it endured very hot and dry summers and cold rainy, freezing, snowy winters and would come back in the spring.
I loved it in Texas and in Tennessee....it grew well in each place. But it flowered best in Tennessee.

We have these Texas Silverado Sage, they bloom after any rain, or wetting. I wanted to know how to propogate them, and found out from the folks at "Texas Gardening Mag." that they put out seeds, very small, after they bloom. I went out and started looking, sure enough, they had seeds all over them. Thanks, Sylvia Burns

Most notable difference between this and other cenizos is the strong fragrance of grape bubble gum from the flowers. It is a nice xeric plant for hot, dry climates.
