Leucophyllum, commonly known as Texas Sage, Barometer Bush, or Cenizo, is a hardy and attractive shrub that belongs to the Scrophulariaceae family. This plant is celebrated for its silver-gray foliage and its vibrant, tubular flowers that can range in color from purple and pink to white. The Leucophyllum is particularly popular in arid and semi-arid regions due to its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions.
Native to the southwestern United States and Mexico, Leucophyllum is well-suited to the climate in the UAE. It can grow up to 5-8 feet tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for hedges, borders, or as a standalone ornamental shrub. The plant is known for its unique behavior of blooming in response to changes in humidity and barometric pressure, often after rainstorms, which is why it is sometimes called the "Barometer Bush."
Leucophyllum is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care once established. Its silvery foliage provides a striking contrast in any landscape, and its abundant blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding to the biodiversity of your garden.

How to Take Care of It
To care for your Leucophyllum, plant it in a location where it can receive full sunlight. Water it sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Use well-draining soil to support its growth and mimic its natural habitat. Fertilize the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. Prune the plant occasionally to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your Leucophyllum will thrive, adding beauty and resilience to your garden or landscape.
