Laredo Texas Sage Shrub

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Ensure the site receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just deep enough to cover the roots. Place the shrub gently in the hole, backfilling with soil and watering thoroughly.

2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as this shrub is drought-tolerant once established. During the initial planting period, provide consistent moisture until it’s well-rooted. This low-water plant is perfect for conserving resources in your garden.

3. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required, but you can shape the plant lightly after blooming if desired. Remove any dead or damaged foliage to promote healthy growth. Avoid heavy pruning unless necessary, to maintain its natural form.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of blooms, so stick to a moderate approach for best results.
