A delightful features is the attractive silver-gray leaves, which are nearly evergreen, although you might notice a few leaves dropping during the winter months. The tiny, tubular purple flowers, adorned with five lobes and measuring about an inch in length, bloom gracefully from the leaf axis at various times throughout the year, especially from summer to fall. These beautiful blooms often appear in response to rain or significant soil moisture, which is why it’s affectionately called the barometer bush. After flowering, the blooms transform into 2-valved capsules filled with numerous tiny seeds, continuing the plant’s lovely cycle of life.

WALKER COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS
TX A&M Agri-Life Extension
Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people.
What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticultural information and education back to their communities. If you are interested in becoming an Extension Master Gardener, contact your AgriLife Extension office.
