Leucophyllum is a genus of evergreen shrubs native to the Chihuahuan Desert and surrounding regions. Known for their silvery-gray, velvety foliage, these "barometer bushes" are famous for blooming in response to high humidity or rainfall. They produce vibrant purple, lavender, or pink bell-shaped flowers that cover the plant. These drought-tolerant shrubs thrive in full sun and well-drained, alkaline soils, making them ideal for xeriscaping, hedges, or as ornamental specimens in arid climates.
