Description
\n<\/strong>Leucophyllum frutescens (Texas Sage, Texas Ranger, Silverleaf, Cenizo),\u00a0Under quasi-desert conditions, purple sage is a dense rounded 3-5 ft (0.9-1.5 m) semi-evergreen shrub. In an irrigated garden, it is inclined to be a more open 5-8 ft (1.5-20.3 m) plant. It has 0.5-1 in (1.3-2.5 cm) felty wavy-looking ovalish alternate leaves with silvery pubescence. The five-lobed tubular 0.5-1 in (1.3-2.5 cm) flowers are borne singly in the leaf axils. They have spotted throats and a typical foxglove family character. The flowers appear after summer rains, sometimes covering the plants with white, pink, lavender, purple, or blue blossoms for a spectacular week long display. Two-valved capsules filled with small wrinkled seeds follow. Alba has white flowers, whereas Rain Cloud has violet-blue. Green Cloud produces green foliage and pinkish flowers. Sierra Bouquet bears lavender-blue blossoms on plants with very silvery leaves. Pink flowered Compacta is a smaller variety used for low hedges and foundation plantings. Relatively evergreen Bertstar Dwarf, which is sold under the name Silverado Sage, has a rounded 4×4 ft (1.2×1.2 m) form and is exceptionally full and dense even at the base. There are several similar Leucophyllum species , but the literature is confusing as to just how many and which varieties represent which species. Here is a reasonable guess at how they sort out: Barometer bush (L. minus) is a small twiggy shrub with violet flowers from the Trans-Pecos region; the variety Silver Cloud has silvery white leaves and dark blue flowers. L. violaceum is a purple-flowered species from the Chisos Mountains. Violet silverleaf (L. candidum) is a very dense shrub represented by two noteworthy varieties: White Cloud has pale gray leaves and light blue flowers and Thunder Cloud has intense purple flowers and a more compact shape. Lynns Everblooming, a cultivar of L. langmanae, is a low growing dense gray-green shrub that produces lilac pink flowers most of the summer. Chihuahuan rain sage (L. laevigatum) is a more open shrub with up-turned branches and small flowers. Blue rain sage (L. zygophyllum) is a small, dense, very slow growing plant that takes shearing well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[706],"product_tag":[1269,1274,1279,1275,1278,1277,1276,1265,1270,1268,1273,1267,1272,1266,1271],"class_list":{"0":"post-5802","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-shrubs","7":"product_tag-cenizo","8":"product_tag-cenizo-in-dubai","9":"product_tag-cheap-rate-cenizo-in-dubai","10":"product_tag-cheap-rate-leucophyllum-frutescens-in-dubai","11":"product_tag-cheap-rate-silverleaf-in-dubai","12":"product_tag-cheap-rate-texas-ranger-in-dubai","13":"product_tag-cheap-rate-texas-sage-in-dubai","14":"product_tag-leucophyllum-frutescens","15":"product_tag-leucophyllum-frutescens-in-dubai","16":"product_tag-silverleaf","17":"product_tag-silverleaf-in-dubai","18":"product_tag-texas-ranger","19":"product_tag-texas-ranger-in-dubai","20":"product_tag-texas-sage","21":"product_tag-texas-sage-in-dubai","23":"first","24":"instock","25":"taxable","26":"shipping-taxable","27":"purchasable","28":"product-type-variable","29":"has-default-attributes"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5802"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5802"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terraforma.ae\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
