I had it at our house in CA, it survived down to 10F without any problems and over 100F in the summers. I have seen a lot of it here in AZ used in parking lots, street medians, and as landscaping outside housing developments. Most of them prune it half to death though, as though it's boxwood.
You can get green-leaf with darker purple bloom or silver-leaf with a pinker bloom. I'm partial to the silver myself. It is sort of a sporadic bloom through the summer, one day the plant is just sitting there and the next it's solid with flowers, then they all vanish for a couple-three weeks.

Theresa,
I have seen leucophyllum frutescens for sale as Texas sage but it's not a sage! It is a beautiful low waterplant that can take lots of heat! I love the silver foliage and purple to pink blooms!
