Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens), also commonly called Cenizo or Texas Ranger, is a drought-tolerant evergreen shrub with silvery-gray foliage and vibrant purple to lavender flowers that appear sporadically, often after rainfall. It is highly valued for its low maintenance, salt tolerance, and ability to provide color and texture in landscapes. Texas Sage works well as a hedge, border, or specimen plant in sunny, well-drained areas.
Care Needs
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Low once established; drought tolerant
• Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape
• Fertilizer: Minimal fertilizer needed; apply balanced slow-release fertilizer if growth is sparse
