Texas Sage

Salvia greggii
In the United States: Native · also called autumn sage, gregg sage

Honeybees visit Salvia greggii for its abundant nectar and pollen, providing a reliable forage source from spring through fall with peak blooming in autumn to support late-season colony needs. This drought-tolerant subshrub requires minimal watering once established and is resistant to deer browsing. Prune back in late winter to promote denser growth and more flowers.
