Description for Middle East Weather:
Leucophyllum frutescens is an outstanding choice for landscaping in the harsh climates of the Middle East. This evergreen shrub is remarkably drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun and high temperatures, making it perfectly suited for the region's long, hot summers. Its silvery-gray foliage provides a beautiful contrast to green plants, and its stunning lavender-purple flowers appear profusely after rainfall or irrigation, a phenomenon that has earned it the nickname "Barometer Bush." This plant is not only beautiful but also highly resilient, requiring minimal water once established and tolerating poor, sandy, and alkaline soils. It is an ideal plant for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and as a low-maintenance hedge.

Sun: ☀️ Full sun is essential for best flowering and growth.
Watering: 💧 Very low water needs once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can be fatal.

Pruning: ✂️ Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove dead branches. Avoid heavy pruning, which can reduce flowering.
Fertilizer: 🌿 No fertilizer is typically needed in well-draining soil. If necessary, use a slow-release, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring.
