Leucophyllum laevigatum 'Purple Rain', commonly known as Chihuahuan Sage, is a striking and drought-tolerant shrub prized for its distinctive features. This compact, evergreen shrub typically grows to a height and spread of 6 to 8 feet, forming a dense and upright shape. 'Purple Rain' is named for its abundant clusters of fragrant tubular-shaped, vibrant purple flowers that bloom profusely during the summer months, creating a stunning visual display against the backdrop of its silver-gray foliage.
