Perennials

There are so many wonderful perennials to choose from with so many uses, it’s easy to lose track of the possibilities. Some are better suited to being used in mass plantings. Others are more attractive when they’re singled out as individual specimens.

Perennials are the backbone to any native garden. They are long-lived, usually easy to grow, and provide interest throughout the year.

Rain Garden Essentials

It’s no question that Houston is a wet city. Rain downpours are a natural part of spring. Prepare your garden to take on the rain by planting with purpose.

Some of us deal with patches in the yard that collect rain and are virtually impossible to plant in due to the amount of water that collects. Rather than deal with a muddy mess, visit our Rain Garden table to pick our plants that prefer moist soil!
