San Antonio Rose Texas Sage

San Antonio Rose is a rounded Texas sage with silver-gray foliage and rose-pink flowers that appear in summer. Its heat and drought tolerance suit sunny, well-drained gardens, where it can grow as a specimen shrub or informal hedge. ## Flowers and form The [Civano Growers plant profile](https://www.civanogrowers.com/plantcollection/leucophyllum-frutescens-%27san-antonio-rose%27-pp33454) identifies the selection as PP33454 and describes a 5–6-foot plant with pink flowers and silver foliage. The profile emphasizes full sun, heat, and drought tolerance. The [J. Berry Nursery profile](https://www.jberrynursery.com/portfolio/san-antonio-rose) lists USDA Zones 7–11 and a rounded shrub form. Hardiness guidance differs among sources, so consider local winter exposure when siting it. ## Landscape use The naturally rounded shape works in a foundation planting, sunny shrub border, or informal screen. Its small leaves and silvery color contrast well with green foliage and flowering perennials. ## Maintenance Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly while the shrub establishes, then reduce irrigation as roots develop; avoid persistently wet soil. Prune lightly to maintain a natural outline.
