The Texas Sage around town is on FIRE! Anyone know why they’re blooming so prolifically right now? I’m accustomed to this happening when rain is forecasted but that certainly isn’t the case …

    so jealous. mine is in part sun (sunny from like 1-5:30pm) and its never bloomed once even though its now 4ft tall and wide 🙁

    I also noticed this today and its rad. I think to myself I need a texas sage every year and then I dont do it.

    They are telling us that it’s gonna rain

    Maybe they got watered, I watered mine recently and they’re blooming, but they’re also newly planted. It could also just be a pressure drop.

    Rain is coming next week. They are a barometer plant

    Wow they can get that tall?? I always see them cut down low. I might want to plant on fence line now. Full southern sun all day ok?

  7. My bees are absolutely loving this bloom!!

    Is it possible to propagate them? Have a couple, but I’d like more!

    Cenizo is in prayer for rain whenever it’s in bloom. Hopefully we get more rain soon!

    They’re known for blooming after a rain. They’re nicknamed the barometer plant for that reason, even though they’re not detecting when rain is coming, more so reminding you we just had some rain.
