Comments: A more cold tolerant variety than Leucophyllum frutescens- it has smaller leaves, but a nice grey appearance in the garden. [cite: 411, 412, 413, 414] It retains gray color through winter. [cite: 411, 412, 413, 414] The Leucophyllums are known as Barometer Plants. [cite: 411, 412, 413, 414] They have bright purple blooms with rain in summer. [cite: 411, 412, 413, 414] It has been a very long-lived plant for me in fully exposed locations. [cite: 411, 412, 413, 414] The addition of its purple flowers after a rain makes it a very nice plant to have in a garden with nearly no additional water or care. [cite: 411, 412, 413, 414]
