In the mullein and butterfly bush family Scrophulariaceae. Not a “true sage” which would be in the mint family Lamiaceae

Leucophyllum frutescens, Texas Sage. Native, as the name would suggest 🙂

We had 3 giant bushes of this at my old house. We always called it desert sage. It smells great and the bees love it too. It grows well in the desert of nm too.

I would love a clipping of this to potentially bonsai. The leaves and flowers are perfect.

Purple sage, also called cenizo in Spanish. A lovely drought and heat tolerant Texas native.
According to folklore, the blooms predict the rains.
The Indigenous peoples here also had a number of uses for it. 🙂
