Texas ranger
Leucophyllum fruitescens has many common names, including Texas ranger, Texas sage, Texas rain sage, barometer bush, cenizo, silverleaf, and ash-leaf
Texas rangers are in the Snapdragon Family (Scrophulariaceae).Texas rangers are medium-sized shrubs, typically to 8 feet tall and wide. They are covered with small gray or gray-green leaves. Plants are usually evergreen but some cultivars may go deciduous during the coldest winters. The flowers are usually less than an inch wide, but are so abundant in number that they put on a beautiful show of purple, pink, or white blooms. Blooming is from summer into fall and usually quickly follows rain or even high humidity. Each bloom cycle does not last particularly long but plants can bloom repeatedly.
Plants should be grown in full sun, in well draining soil, and with little to moderate water. Over-watered plants will die out and under-watered plants will drop many leaves and look scraggly. The species is tolerant of alkaline soils, heat, and wind
