Leucophyllum candidum 'Thundercloud'-1.jpg (563761 bytes)



Leucophyllum candidum 'Silver Cloud'™

 A Texas A&M selection. Tiny silver leaves, deep violet flowers. Grows to 4 1/2' tall and wide.  Almost identical to Thundercloud™ but is larger and not as profuse flowerer.  This group is especially susceptible to overwatering so well drained sites are needed.  Candidum is found in west Texas on hillsides 2200-4900'. It is drought tolerant once established. Original mother plant was located at the entrance to Big Bend Park. Zone 8.
