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.

Hummingbird Plants

Make Your Garden a Hummingbird Pitstop!

Curious about how to attract or support hummingbirds this season? The nursery is stocked with high nectar favorites perfect for migrating hummingbirds!

Flame Acanthus, Turk’s Cap, Salvia greggii, Standing Cypress, and Indian Pink are a few Texas native plants you can add to your garden this spring! Non-native options include Hamelia, Russellia, Bottlebrush, and more.

Watch our video on ‘How to Setup a Hummingbird Garden’ here.

Irises

Beautiful Striking Flowers!

A southern favorite and for good reason! Irises are not only beautiful but are easy to grow and quite resilient plants. We currently offer an assortment of Louisiana Irises and Walking Irises. Irises are a great addition to a rain garden and make a stunning border.
