Description

The cultivar ‘Silverado’ of Leucophyllum frutescens (commonly called Texas Sage or Barometer Bush) features striking silvery-gray, felt-like foliage and a dense, rounded habit that remains full to the base, making it a standout in xeriscape and low-maintenance landscapes. It produces abundant pink to violet-pink tubular flowers usually triggered by increased humidity or rainfall, offering seasonal interest against the fine textured evergreen leaves. This selection was introduced as a compact form of the species to broaden landscape uses in hot, dry regions. The species is native to Texas and northern Mexico and has long been valued for its drought and heat tolerance.

Dense, compact, rounded shrub form that remains full to the base, unlike many open-habit Texas Sage selections.
Distinctive silvery-gray foliage (due to fine hairs/trichomes) providing year-round visual appeal and excellent contrast in the landscape.
Prolific bloom display of pink to violet-pink tubular flowers that respond to moisture/humidity cues (hence the “barometer bush” behavior), attracting pollinators and enhancing seasonal interest.
