Texas Sage for hedge ?
I have an idea about planting hedges around my new back yard. We are fenced
all the way around with white vinyl fencing and have a sprinkler system. It's not a huge yard but I'd like to start making it something special. I was able to get two raised beds in for herbs this year and am ready to start planning for fall and spring. I was thinking about hedges on both sides, maybe even across the back, to create an old fashioned English garden setting, or maybe japanese. I think bamboo would be tough to do--clumping bamboo doesn't propogate so it would be more expensive and running bamboo...well, you know... Anyway, I thought, perhaps, purple sage would be a possibility. I have read that it can get up to 6-8 feet, which would be enough (if I don't get busted by the HOA for letting it get too high) and the flowers would be a gorgeous addition. I'm concerned that keeping the sprinkler system going frequently enough (usually every 3rd day for about 10 minutes) to keep the grass alive, will be too much for the sage. I'm especially concerned that it might not get tall enough. Any words of advice from experts out there? Thanks for any input! ie -- ride fast, take chances. |
