'Microburst' Texas Sage

Leucophyllum candidum 'microburst'

Leucophyllum candidum 'Microburst', commonly known as Violet Silverleaf, is a captivating and drought-tolerant shrub cherished for its unique attributes. This compact, evergreen shrub typically reaches heights of 3 feet, forming a dense and rounded silhouette. 'Microburst' earns its name from the abundance of small, tubular-shaped violet flowers that burst into bloom following periods of rainfall or humidity, creating a visual contrast against its silver-gray foliage. With its ability to thrive in hot and arid climates, this native Texan shrub is an excellent choice for xeriscapes, desert gardens, or as a low-maintenance ornamental shrub in sunny landscapes.
