Sage Bertstar Dwarf Silverado as purchased 7-2-06 from Lowes, 5th day in ground lost all blooms, arrow is cutting to root, Brookshire, Texas

Lowes Sage after a thunderstorm blew thru, water with a hose does not bring blooms, thunderstorms have twice now.

WE JUST RELOCATED TO TEXAS FROM FLORIDA ONE YEAR AGO.. FOUND THIS SAGE PLANT. SIMPLY MAGINIFICENT, TOLERATES TEXAS SUMMER AND WINTER.

Close up, late spring in little rock AR. Thick with blooms in late summer/fall.

The ones planted in cement containers bloom repeatedly.

Look closely for the bees! They love the flowers!!!

Although they never attacked me, I was still afraid to get too close to the bees! Here are more bees!

It rained and the bees were gone. They sure are smart!

Close up. Full frame of flowers!

Here is the one planted on the ground.
