A flowering shrub native to southwestern North America, known for blooming after summer rains and having colorful tubular flowers.
From Spanish 'cenizo' meaning 'ash-colored,' referring to the plant's gray-green foliage. The common name reflects the plant's appearance before flowering.
Cenizo is called 'desert rose' or 'pride of Barbados,' and desert gardeners love it because it literally flowers within days of rain—it can sense moisture and bloom almost instantly!
