Comments:
Has distinctive blue-gray foliage. It is drought and salt tolerant and makes a fine xeriscape plant. It is very heat tolerant, but will not stand wet feet. Called barometer bush because it flowers after periods of showers in the summer. May have several cycles of blooming, depending on cycles of showers.
