One of the oldest of the leucophyllum selections. Dense rounded form requires little or no pruning. Mature size is 5' x 5'. Grey-silver foliage and a heavy producer of pink flowers as the humidity rises in summer. Does tolerate more water and heavier soils than other selections. It is drought tolerant once established.

Frost tolerant to 10 F.
