It's a great option if you're looking for a bold color and an interesting shape in a garden bed. Not native to Texas, but one I find interesting and no maintenance.
I’m in Austin, TX and planted one 2 years ago. First winter, it froze back so I figured that’s that. It came back in the spring and in the hottest heat, it looked sad but didn’t die. It’s now late December and it’s survived two light freezes. Now, I’m looking up at it and I’m 5-9”. Has beautiful long spike flowers. It’s working! Love it!
I have a few non native exceptions as well. I try to keep them limited, but as long as they serve a purpose (not just because they’re “nice”) I’ll occasionally make the exception.
It looks beautiful with the Henry duelberg in the back of you

I have some sage plants but I've never have had that one in my garden . Thanks for the video

agreed - if they require a lot of work, especially a no for me.
