It thrives in dry, rocky and even somewhat salty conditions- yet still provides you with a profusion of flowers. This hardy tree practically thrives on neglect. Texas Sage blooms from spring through fall in a burst of small, trumpet-shaped flowers. The flowers can be rosy-lavender, pink, purple or white. The blooms are encouraged by soil moisture and humidity, earning this plant the nickname the barometer bush.
