Leucophyllum frutescens 'White Cloud'
Leucophyllum frutescens, often lovingly referred to as Texas sage, silver leaf, or barometer bush, is a delightful semi-evergreen shrub that usually grows compactly but with a relaxed, loosely branched form. As it ages, if left unpruned, this charming plant tends to spread out a bit.
White Cloud is a cultivar with gray foliage and upright, oval form. White flowers bloom in mid-summer through fall, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Tolerates heavier soils with poor drainage better than other cultivars, but thrives most in well draining soil. Best grown in full sun to part shade. Drought tolerant once established and heat resistant.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
