Question We have a row of 12 Texas Sage that are almost 6 years old. One of the end shrubs just up and died (lost leaves and became a stick). A couple of others are not looking well. They are watered by sprinkler system twice a week and have begonias underneath. Do you have any suggestions?
Answer JIm,
Sage does not like alot of water, as a matter of fact, they do better if they are watered infrequently. I would recommend having a local tree care company inspect the plants and the site and make recommendations on their future care.
