Spring arrives early here in south Texas. While our winter was mild overall we had a freeze back in the late fall that knocked back many perennials. With our recent warm weather, the foliage on those plants is emerging and perennials that didn't die back completely are showing new spring growth.
Salvia Madrensis is a shade loving favorite that blooms only in the fall. I'm pleased to see all this new growth on a first-year plant meaning I can probably divide it this year.
