Texas Snowball Plant
Texas-Plant-Endangered
Background
Texas snowbells is a shrub or small tree about 5 to 15 feet tall. The big, round leaves are shiny and green on top but white and fuzzy underneath. The contrasting colors on the leaves make the plant appear to shimmer when the wind blows. The flowers are clustered at the end of the branch and hang upside down. These blooms look like small white bells, thus the name snowbells.
