Texas plants are tough, and they need to be hardy! They have evolved to survive months of triple-digit heat in summer, hard freezes in winter, and extended droughts, sometimes followed by local "rain bombs". Below is a small sampling of the spectacular flora of Central Texas. I have included a few plants that are not strictly native to the area, but found within a few hundred miles, mostly south of the region. Some plants are cultivars. I can provide most of them, depending on the season. Use the following links to see examples from each plant category:, shade trees, ornamental small to medium trees, flowering perennials, perennial flowering shrubs, evergreen shrubs, vines, cactuses, agaves, and yuccas, ornamental and xeriscape grasses and turf, groundcovers and annuals/wildflowers. Depending on seasonality, I can get and deliver most of these and many others for you in sizes from 30 gallons to flats. Texas natives are tough and ask much less of the gardener, but they do need a bit of "tough love" . Be sure to mulch, mulch, mulch—but not to overwater them. In most cases, don't spray or fertilize them; and if and when you prune them, do so appropriately and at the right time (usually around Valentine's Day)! Of course, if I help you plan your garden and/or provide your plants, I am available to offer advice or suggestions before, during, and after you plant them-contact me whenever you have any questions. I can provide, in season, the plants below and many others. These include the deer-distasteful as well as "deer candy". Want a shade loving plant that produces red flowers, attracts hummingbirds, and can live in the worst possible soil? How about a deer resistant evergreen tree with bright berries in mid winter? A drought tolerant groundcover with velvety green leaves and lovely purple flower spikes? There are plants for every possible situation!
