| Botanical Name | Leucophyllum frutescens 'Green Cloud' |
| Description | 'Green Cloud' is distinguished by its darker green foliage compared to other silvery Texas Sage varieties. It is exceptionally well-suited for Southeast Texas summers, blooming reliably after humidity or rain events. However, it is highly sensitive to wet roots; in the Houston metro area, it is vital to plant in raised beds or amend heavy clay with expanded shale or gravel to ensure the sharp drainage this plant requires. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 6-8 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low; once established, it is extremely drought-tolerant. Be careful not to overwater, especially during the humid Houston winter. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Minimal; a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring is all that is needed. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain a desired shape and encourage blooming on new growth. Avoid heavy shearing during the peak of summer. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
