I’m not really sure what’s going on with my Texas Sage (AKA Texas Barometer Bush) First photo is from when I got it, and second photo is today. More water? Less light? I’m not sure what to do. It gets full sun for part of the day, and has been watered recently. #helpneeded #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy

Is succulent soil best for purple sage? I was told to cut up a swim noodle to place in the planter to help with drainage.

I thought I could save this poor thing from Walmart last summer... it bloomed and was quite full till fall. But I assume it has entered a dormant period? Hoping for the best for this little trooper 💪🏼
