Perennials for Houston Area Gardens
At Growers Outlet, we specialize in perennials that love Texas heat and return year after year. Our selection includes full-sun varieties that handle our hot afternoons, shade perennials for protected areas, and special plants that attract birds, bees, and butterflies.
Why choose perennials? Unlike annuals, these plants come back each season, giving you more value and less replanting work. We've carefully selected varieties that perform well in Montgomery County's climate and soil conditions.
Browse our categories: full sun perennials for those hot sunny spots, part-sun varieties for morning light areas, and shade perennials for under trees. Plus, discover native and adapted species that support local wildlife.
Note: Flower colors shown in photos may vary from actual plants in stock.
