A landscape project funded by Culberson County as an ongoing effort to improve Van Horn’s public spaces commenced in mid-November. Nine one-gallon container size Lynn’s Legacy Cenizo (Leucophyllum langmaniae) were planted in the space between the sidewalk and the parking lot of a steel building that once housed the Boys and Girls Club located alongside Hwy 54, one block north of El Capitan Hotel. The area around the plants was covered with a rock mulch and enhanced with small boulders and solar landscape lights.
Lynn’s Legacy Cenizo is a hardy perennial woody shrub with sage green foliage that is evergreen. During the growing season, it produces lavender colored flowers and blooms more often than any other type of sage.
Joy Scott, a Texas Master Gardener, assisted with the landscape design and supervised the planting. Future plans for this area include adding additional xeriscape elements as well as a drip irrigation system.
Keep up the good work, Joy!
