Purple Sage Project

A new project!  I have been admiring the Texas Purple Sage that seems to bloom after a rain.  The dear deer may not eat them down to the nubs...but that is to be seen.  Yes, I know I can fence things, but that just seems to defeat the "look" that I want.

Well, the first place I checked, Lowe's, had 5 left and they were being marked down to half price.  Yea! How can you beat that?  Now that it is cooler weather they should like that.  I am expecting great things from them this fall.  Now, where to plant them?  Right in front of the house, or out on the "range"?  I vote for out on the "range"...that way I can see their blooms from my windows.  http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/Texas/shrubPurpleSage.html

I think they will add some interest to the landscape palette.  Oh well, just as long as they live and bloom...that is all I ask from them.  Besides, since there are no native plants living in the area, I may be just introducing a new "veggie" to the deer.  They do need to eat their veggies.  I can't blame the deer since I am the one that moved into their domain.
