Native plants are the smart choice for Houston area gardens. They evolved in our climate, thrive in our clay soil, and once established they need far less water, fertilizer, and care than non-native plants. They also support local birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial wildlife.
With water conservation becoming increasingly important in Texas, natives are not just a good garden choice — they're a responsible one.
Our native selection includes flowering perennials for seasonal color, native grasses for low-maintenance texture, shrubs for structure and wildlife habitat, and trees that have proven themselves in our region for generations.
Popular performers for our area include Salvia, Turk's Cap, Beautyberry, Yaupon Holly, Mexican Bush Sage, and Inland Sea Oats.
Good to know: Native plants may look slow getting started — they spend their first season establishing roots. By year two they take off and rarely look back.
