| Botanical Name | Leucophyllum candidum 'Silver Star' |
| Description | A compact and intensely silver variety of Texas Sage that is highly valued for its desert-like aesthetic. While it is incredibly heat and drought-tolerant, it is sensitive to Houston's high rainfall and humidity if drainage is poor. It does not tolerate heavy, wet clay; for success in the Houston metro area, plant in raised beds or highly amended, gritty soil to ensure the roots stay dry. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for blooming and foliage color) |
| Height x Width | 4-5 ft. Tall x 4-5 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low; once established, it is extremely drought-tolerant. Overwatering is the primary cause of failure in Southeast Texas. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Minimal; a light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring is sufficient. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain a dense, compact shape and encourage fresh summer blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
