Signs of Cold Temperatures in Purple sage

Symptoms

Purple sage tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures are above 65℉. In winter, it needs to stay above 45℉. If temperatures drop below 32℉, while winter changes might not be obvious, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new leaves.

Signs of High Temperatures in Purple sage

Symptoms

In summer, Purple sage should be maintained below 75℉. When temperatures go above 85℉, the plant's leaves might lighten in hue, tips could dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sunburn.

Solutions

Cut off the sunburned and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
