Leucophyllum pruinosum Sierra Bouquet™ Sierra Bouquet™ has the most fragrant flowers of all the Texas Rangers. If you plant a cluster of these shrubs in your garden, the air will be perfumed with the scent of grape bubble gum whenever they burst into bloom. Its larger stature, to 6 feet tall and wide, makes it an ideal backdrop for some of the smaller selections. Open and sprawling in form, the Sierra Bouquet™ is a good choice for more natural desert landscapes. Violet blossoms enhance the silver-grey foliage. Sierra Bouquet™ is a trademark of Mountain States Wholesale Nursery.

That's the same as My Penstemon 'Sour Grapes' Smells.
Sorry I Don't Have Any of These...but...I Do Have the Penstemon.

(Zone 7a)

ZZ!!!!!!! Did you have to go and post all that? Now I'm really dying here...LOL LOL

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I NEED that Plant!

I do have some sour grape seeds. But never planted them. Had them for 2 years. What you think? Do I need some new ones?

(Zone 7a)

Also can I get some more of those little paper seed packets?? Loved them! They're all gone :-D

Albany, OR(Zone 8a)

I didn't know that Penstemon smelled?
That 'Sour Grape' Penstemon sounds very interesting.
I love to grow Penstemons here in Oregon. They do great here.

Hi, Kim, you must be going thru withdrawls right now without that plant, LOL

Carol

(Zone 7a)

Well Carol, I can share my sour grape seeds with you if you like? LMK

Deep South Coastal, TX(Zone 10a)

I should have looked it up in plant files, we have silver leaf sage, leucophyllum frutescens growing wild, not the bubble gum one. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/58362/index.html

(Zone 7a)

Well I'll take the frutescens if you can get seeds and maybe we can trade?

Deep South Coastal, TX(Zone 10a)

I will check for seeds on mine in the garden. If not, I can take some cuttings.

Montreal, QC(Zone 4b)

If its a fast grower, I would like seeds too.

Deep South Coastal, TX(Zone 10a)

First let me see if there are any seeds on it. It was dark when I got home today, had to go grocery shopping after work.
Does anyone know how to root the cuttings? New growth, old growth, side shoots?

McAlpin, FL

Thanks Kim! Now I have to have it too! lol
Have you seen/grown/smelled Sophora Secundiflora? Smells just exactly like grape kool-aid.
I've done searches for the Leucophyllum pruinosum Sierra Bouquet, but can only locate a source for wholesale plants. Like you, I'd like to find a source for seed.

Albany, OR(Zone 8a)

Sure, Kim, I would love some of those 'Sour Grape' seeds. What would you like for a trade then? Since you have everything in this world, hehe.
Dahlia tubers???
Let me know too.
Carol

Pinellas Park, FL(Zone 9b)

Kim,
Let me get a picture of the Texas Sage I have. It was new to me a couple years ago and just got out of it's pot last year so it has not bloomed yet. If this is one you are looking for
I have a small rooted cutting I can send with the var. duranta this spring.
Jan...

Here it is from last year next to the namwah banana. It's the small bush with the silver leaves. I'll see if I can find a pic from this year.
