Tired of replacing all of your plants year after year? While we love our seasonal plants, it’s also important to incorporate some staple frost hardy plants within your garden.
Our favorite tried and true plants include Camellias, Azaleas, Hydrangeas, and Loropetalum. For Texas native options we recommend Dwarf Yaupon, Flame Acanthus, Roughleaf Dogwood, Turk’s Cap, and more. Hurry in this weekend and chat with our gardeners to find the perfect frost-hardy plant for you!

Freeze Recovery
Post-Freeze Care!
After a freeze, some plants may show signs of frost damage. Frost damage can present in many ways, but the two most common are brown crispy foliage and yellow/brown mushy foliage. Here are some things you can do to nurture a plant with frost/freeze damage.
For optimal plant regrowth, we recommend using MicroLife Ocean Harvest, MicroLife 6-2-4 granular, and MicroLife Super Seaweed. These fertilizers will support the production of new leaves and branches.

Piñon Wood & Chimineas
Stay Cozy this Season!
Chimineas are a great choice for creating an outdoor hangout in the garden or on the patio! Originating in Mexico during the 16th to 17th century, traditionally made from clay and used for cooking and heating, they are now primarily used as a firepit alternative!
Stop in the greenhouse to grab everything you need to enjoy your new chiminea including fragrant piñon wood and lava sand.
