Bring the iconic "Silverleaf" of the Chihuahuan Desert to your landscape with Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens), a rugged and breathtaking evergreen shrub also known as Cenizo or Barometer Bush. This compact, loosely branched plant is famous for its shimmering, silvery-gray foliage covered in millions of tiny, soft hairs. It earns the name "Barometer Bush" because its showy masses of pink-lavender flowers burst into bloom in response to spikes in humidity or rainfall, often "predicting" a summer shower.

Typically growing 5–8 feet tall (and occasionally reaching 10–12 feet at maturity), Texas Sage is a "Texas Native Superstar" for water-conserving landscapes. Whether used as a silvery hedge, a foundation planting, or a standalone specimen, its intermittent cycles of vibrant purple-to-pink blooms provide a spectacular contrast against its ashy foliage from spring through fall.

Key Features:

  • Rain-Triggered Blooms: Showy, bell-shaped flowers in shades of violet, purple, or pink bloom in batches triggered by humidity and rainfall.
  • Silvery Evergreen Foliage: Soft, silver-gray leaves provide year-round texture and visual interest.
  • Extreme Heat & Drought Tolerance: An exceptionally water-wise choice that thrives in the intense sun of the Southwest.
  • Pollinator Haven: Attracts butterflies and bees with its nectar-rich flowers.
  • Vital Larval Host: Serves as a host plant for the Theona Checkerspot butterfly and the Calleta Silkmoth.
  • Wildlife Cover: Provides essential nesting sites and protective cover for birds.
  • Deer Resistant: Highly resistant to deer, making it a reliable choice for open landscapes.
  • Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in sets of three, six, or 12 plants to create a shimmering, drought-tolerant border.

Why Choose Texas Sage?

Texas Sage is the ultimate "low-maintenance" desert shrub. Its name Leucophyllum comes from the Greek words for "white leaf," referencing the stunning foliage that makes it a popular ornamental. It is highly valued for its ability to thrive in poor, alkaline, and rocky soils where other shrubs might struggle. Because it blooms on new wood, it responds well to pruning, allowing you to maintain a tidy hedge or a natural, sprawling form.

Planting Tips:

  1. Location: Must be planted in full sun. It thrives in heat but "humidity and high night temperatures" can be challenging outside its native range. Sharp drainage is essential. It prefers rocky, calcareous, or alkaline soils. In areas with high rainfall, consider using raised beds to prevent "cotton root rot".
  2. Watering: Once established, plants require minimal moisture. Do not over-water, as soggy soil can be lethal.
  3. Maintenance: Do not fertilize. Prune as needed to maintain shape, keeping in mind that flowers appear on new growth.

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
