My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Meadow Sage?

11 years ago

Our nursery down the street is liquidating, and I was given 7 of these for free. Any tips on what conditons they prefer? They look very unhappy right now, so we'll see if I can get them to survive the summer!

    Lucky you - nice color! Have never tried them, but believe they're from a central European line (salvia nemorosa?), so probably need some afternoon shade in much of Texas - like a spot with 3 or 4 hours of morning sun.

    Hope you're not losing your neighborhood nursery and the liquidation was just seasonal.
