Texas Native Plants
It’s no secret that we love Texas native plants at Buchanan’s. In fact, they’ve been our passion since 1986.
Texas Natives are much more than a beautiful addition to your landscape. They are an investment in our local ecosystem, especially when the habitat is heavily damaged. Native plants also help keep soil in healthy balance by reducing erosion and aiding in drainage. Offering benefits like these, native plant ecosystem benefits are far greater than expected.
On top of their ecosystem benefits, Texas native plants are often brightly colored, with red, orange, yellow, and purple flowers. These plants are excellent choices for the garden because their foliage is among the top choices for ornamental beauty in our region.
