Thunder Cloud Sage
Leucophyllum candidum
Leucophyllum candidum is a compact, silvery-leaved evergreen shrub native to the arid limestone hills of the Chihuahuan Desert in Texas and northern Mexico. Prized for its dense, felted foliage and lavender-purple blooms that appear after rains, it is a hardy, low-maintenance choice for xeriscapes and desert gardens.
Texas Sage
Leucophyllum frutescens
Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) is a stunning evergreen shrub native to the arid regions of Texas and northern Mexico. Celebrated for its extraordinary drought tolerance and silvery-gray foliage, this low-maintenance plant bursts into bloom with vibrant purple, violet, or lavender flowers during summer and fall. Commonly known as the "barometer bush," it flowers in response to high humidity and falling atmospheric pressure — often right before or after rain. A beloved staple of xeriscape gardens and water-wise landscaping.
Cushion Bush
Leucophyta brownii
The Cushion Bush (Leucophyta brownii) is a compact, dense evergreen shrub native to the coastal regions of southern Australia. It is popular for its striking silver-blue color, provided by its finely hairy, scale-like stems and leaves.

In summer, it produces small, round flower heads in a yellow-cream color that are attractive to pollinators. The Cushion Bush is ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, and xeriscapes with low water requirements. It is resistant to wind, sea salt, frost, and drought.
Chilean Cactus
Leucostele chiloensis
The Chilean cactus (Leucostele chiloensis, formerly Echinopsis chiloensis) is a tree-like columnar cactus endemic to central Chile, growing up to 8 m tall with multiple ribbed branches arising from the base. It produces large white, funnel-shaped flowers that open during the day from November to January, followed by round, edible green fruit. It is extremely drought-tolerant and adapted to sunny, rocky slopes of Chile's coastal cordillera.
Fetterbush
Leucothoe fontanesiana
Fetterbush is a graceful, arching evergreen shrub native to the Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. Its glossy, lance-shaped dark green leaves take on bronze and burgundy tints through winter, while in spring dangling clusters of small white, bell-shaped flowers line the drooping branches, echoing its cousins the andromedas and pieris. Long a staple of woodland and shade gardens, it forms dense thickets so tangling that Appalachian hunters nicknamed it "dog-hobble" for how it snagged their hounds. Today it is prized as a shade-loving specimen, hedge, or groundcover alongside rhododendrons and azaleas, sharing their taste for moist, acidic soil.
