Our May plant of the month is Leucophyllum langmaniae ‘Lynn’s Legacy’, Lynn’s Legacy Everblooming Sage. This is closely related to the commonly used Texas Rangers, but has the advantage of more flowers! Other Texas Rangers bloom only when the humidity is high, during monsoons and other rain events, while Lynn’s Legacy will bloom throughout the warm period. The flowers are lavender and the leaves are grey-green. This can grow to be a large shrub (5’x5′) and can tolerate full sun conditions. Most nursery’s in Tucson carry this varietal and you’d be wise to add one or two of these to your garden!
