Green Cloud Texas Sage

Green Cloud Texas sage is a fast-growing, rounded shrub with green foliage and rose-pink flowers that appear most freely during warm, humid weather. Exact-selection sources describe a mature size around 6–8 feet tall and wide, so leave room for a broad outline. [T-Y Nursery](https://www.tynursery.com/plant-library/woody-ornamentals/leucophyllum-frutescens-green/) and the [Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum](https://www.desertmuseum.org/visit/sheets/Leufru.pdf) ## Landscape Use Use it as a focal shrub, informal hedge, foundation planting, or low screen in hot, sunny gardens. Its rounded size works best where branches can extend naturally rather than being clipped into a narrow shape. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established it needs little supplemental water and tolerates heat and drought; avoid compacted or persistently wet soil, which can encourage root rot. Sources report hardiness from USDA zone 7 through 10, with foliage retention better in warm climates. ## Seasonal Interest Rose-pink flowers recur in summer and fall, often following humid weather or rain. In milder or colder parts of its range it may lose some foliage in winter, while staying evergreen in warmer settings. ## Maintenance Prune selectively after flowering only when needed to correct the outline. Allow the shrub to keep its natural rounded form and avoid heavy shearing.
