Re: Leucophyllum frutescens

Karen:

Leucophyllum frutescens has been grown in Southern
California for many years and is a superb landscape
shrub.  A nice compact version ('Compacta', to 5 feet)
may be even more useful.

I don't think humidity is as important to the plants
as is heat(yet they are quite hardy).

In the nursery trade here, it's commonly called "Texas
Ranger".
