Native plants are nature’s ideal source of food and protection for wildlife. The plants listed below are species and cultivars that have occurred naturally in the wild in our region. Because they are native to our area and have evolved in this climate and our soil they will generally require minimal fertilizer, no pest control and very little supplemental watering once established. Look for our Native Logo on our signs in the nursery! Check out the list below, and visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center or the USDA Plants Database for more information!
