Bluer than almost any other blue flower, the Germander Sage is a beautiful, highly drought-tolerant, low-growing shrub that does great lining walkways and in harsh, afternoon sun. A native of the Chihuahuan Desert of the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico, it needs no extra water here in North Texas.

Low light levels make it hard for non-native grasses to truly thrive. Horseherb is a great solution to this problem. It's a native plant (often growing in city parks) and it loves dry or moist shade, and spreads via stems that root upon contact with soil. It's a host plant for sulfur and skipper butterflies, too, who lay their eggs on the leaves (avoid spraying insecticides that will kill them). Horseherb will help bring more adult butterflies into your landscape, and cover up bare spots in shade where grass won't grow. That's a win-win!
