Forsythia Sage

One word: stunning. This 6-foot sage offers yellow bloom spikes in late summer. Native to western Mexico (the Sierra Madre Occidental), in North Texas when growing in full sun it benefits from an occasional extra watering to reach its most brilliant and vibrant form. In locations with only Morning Sun, make sure it gets 5+ hours of sun to give you plenty of blooms. A very affordable way to fill in large spaces (5 plants take up 50 square feet), it's very useful for filling in big spaces. Learn more at NC Extension Gardener and Nativo Gardens.
