Leucophyllum langmaniae ‘Braveheart’ is an evergreen, broadleaf shrub with a compact, dense, rounded habit and featuring deep green to silvery-green foliage and lavender to deep purple-blue trumpet-shaped flowers. The foliage tends to be smoother and brighter green than other varieties. Grows very symmetrical and compact and needs little pruning and shaping. It blooms spring to fall and frequently bursting into bloom immediately following rain or humidity spikes. Blooming can sometimes be started by overhead watering. Uses include privacy screens, hedges, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant in desert and arid landscapes. Excellent in desert landscapes and tolerates most seacoast and intermountain conditions. Requires full, intense sun to reflective sun to maintain its dense habit and bloom well. It has low shade tolerance and will perform poorly. It needs well-drained soil. It handles rocky, sandy, alkaline, limestone-based, or poor soils but will fail in chronically wet or soggy sites. Regular irrigation when installed and acclimating; low water needs once established. Irrigation should be slow and deep. Deer-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 10°F.
