Leucophyllum frutescens

Description

Leucophyllum frutescens (Texas Ranger) is a rounded, dense, evergreen shrub noted for its attractive, soft to the touch, silvery leaves, 1 in. long (2.5 cm). Borne in the leaf axils, rose-purple bell-shaped flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), appear at varying times of the year, often after summer showers, therefore the common name of barometer bush.
