Hello,

We've just had some Desert landscaping completed. Amongst the new
plants and shrubs that we have are some Red Autumn Sage. The leaves
have all dropped off and the plants look decidedly bare. Is this
normal for this plant at this time of year?

Any information would be gladly appreciated.

Where in the desert exactly are you located? A hard freeze can cause
defoliation of this plant and if cold enough, death, but it is typically
evergreen in milder climates. If you experience a lot of cold weather in
winter, this salvia may not be a correct choice for your location.
