Last week I finally saw new growth at the base of my “green cloud” Texas sage. Long awaited. Now I am waiting to see something on my favorite “heavenly cloud” by the garden gate here at the house. I am reminded that the older, larger trees and shrubs take longer to rejuvenate than the youngsters. My “Lynn’s legacy” Texas sage retained most of its leaves through the winter storm named Uri. It was totally protected under the snow during the coldest days. Just planted last year.
