Texas Natives
Texas native plants are perfect fits in the Houston garden. These are plants that hold up to the heat, drought, freeze, and anything else the Texas climate throws at them.
I have personally grown every plant you see here and can testify to their low maintenance care.
Native plants also hold many benefits for sustaining wildlife activity in your garden. Get in touch with nature and the passing of seasons by planting native!
