The appeal of native plants is no longer overlooked or dismissed, and we are slowly recognizing their role in creating a beautiful, flourishing garden whilst conserving our natural resources. Native Texas flowers grow much better in the Texas climate, attract beneficial birds, insects, and wildlife. They can make up a beautiful, freshly picked bouquet for your table.

Large number of native plants is best propagated by seeds. We found that the best time to plant Native Texas Seeds is October-November >>>>

Lets take a look into some of the most attractive plants growing in our area.

1. Eastern Purple Coneflower - Echinacea purpurea

The coneflower is a popular Texan flower. This particular species has a lustrous cone-shaped center with lavender colored petals leading downward. It is the perfect plant to have in your flowerbed because it’s a butterfly magnet that blooms profusely through spring and summer. It also does remarkably well when cut, since the tall blooms will last about a week before drooping.

2. Black-Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia hirta

Another type of coneflower, the black-eyed Susan gets its name from its black center. Its petals are a sunshiny yellow and also bend downward. It’s perennial, meaning that it will return year after year. As an extra perk, it’s drought tolerant and can be as large as five inches in diameter. They’re perfect for brightening up the kitchen table when cut.

3. Texas Lantana - Lantana urticoides

The yellow and orange mixture of blossoms that grow on the Texas Lantana plant are perfect for attracting butterflies. They’re also great for coastal areas since they’re both drought and salt tolerant. They bloom all summer long and will help keep pesky deer away from your flowerbed.

4. Red Turk’s Cap - Malvaviscus drummondii

These hibiscus-like flowers blossom all over an attractive shrub. They are pretty little blooms with overlapping petals that never fully open, and antennae-like stamen that protrude from the top. They fair well in the shade, making them perfect for enhancing the dirt area surrounding your trees.

Typically, there are two types of terrariums: closed and open terrariums. Each has its own little peculiarities, when it comes to care.
