Wild Thing Sage
Wild thing sage a shrubby perennial flower native to Texas. It has small, shiny green leaves on branching stems. Growing as a nice mound, it produces flushes of beautiful hot pink flowers throughout the summer.
This plant is heat and drought tolerant, but is not always winter hardy in Colorado Springs. However, its continuous production of nice flowers makes it worthwhile to grow as an annual flower even if it won't always survive the winter.
