Signs of Heat Stress in Texas sage
Symptoms
In summer, Texas sage should be kept below 77℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, curl, become prone to sun damage, and in extreme cases, the whole plant might wilt and dry out.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade covering. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
