I have a large bush back planted w/ zebra grass and weeping love grass at the sides. I also like to add annual rudbeckias with it. I've seen picture of mex.bush sage,russian sage and globe thistle planted together.

Big Bob, I noticed you got few replies, well, only one to your question. I plant Mexican Bush Sage with Oriental and Asiatic lilies. The salvia is small when the lilies bloom, forming 'skirts' under the blossoms. When the lily foliage starts to fade in late summer, the salvia is tall enough to hide it.

Oh let's keep this one going...I bought four today. I planted four last year but lost one. The best thing about these beauties are that they are deer proof in my garden. Woohoo and a yeee haww! I wonder what lambs ears would look like underneath/in front. Last year I had the MSB next to last in the back of the border. Behind it I had Tithonia. In front I have some varigated border grass, yaupon hollies and then in the very front kinda alternating are lantana and lavender. All these are deer proof in my garden except the border grass but they didn't bother to hoove around past the lantana.

The bush sage was center of this garden area last year surrounded by roses, phlox, agastace, candytuft, sedums, oregano, chives, and petunias. EP
