- [Microburst Texas Sage](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/microburst-texas-sage/) - Leucophyllum candidum 'Microburst' - Local native evergreen shrub from hillsides in Central Texas to Mexico - Dark indigo 1” flowers burst into bloom before rain comes - Tough as nails in hot, dry, rocky, alkaline soil If you need shrubs or hedges in a truly punishingly sunny and dry location, consider Texas sage. Tiny white hairs densely cover the leaves, making the foliage a beautiful silvery color and protecting the plant from bright sun and searing reflective heat. According to local lore, these bushes act like barometers, covering themselves in a flush of purple blooms just before it rains. We find their accuracy uncanny! This cultivated variety (cultivar for short) is the first true dwarf Texas Sage on the market. Developed by Civano Growers, this beauty boasts dark indigo blooms and a dense, compact growth habit.

- [Nature's Creation® Organic Compost  with Mycorrhizal Fungi](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/natures-creation-organic-compost-with-mycorrhizal-fungi/) - 1.5 cubic foot bag. Made From Native Recycled Trees and Shrubs 100% Organic Material Retains Soil Moisture Contains Mycorrhizal Fungi Use Instead of Canadian Sphagnum Peat Does Not Compact Kid and Pet Friendly In Nature, nothing is wasted. Leaves and limbs fall and plants die each season. All of this material becomes food for soil microorganisms that cause it to decompose. This is humus. It is not soil but a rich brown to black material formed as plant material breaks down into natural organic matter. It allows water and air to penetrate the soil surface and helps the top soil layer hold moisture. This organic matter is full of living organisms and humic acids that allow lawns and gardens to grow and thrive. Nature’s Creation® Organic Compost with Mycorrhizal Fungi is made from Native Recycled Trees and Shrubs. They are ground and manure is added to hasten the natural conversion to humus. Composting is an aerobic method (meaning it requires the presence of air) of decomposing organic matter. During this process, heat is generated sterilizing the blend. No chemicals or other materials are added. Use Nature’s Creation® Organic Compost with Mycorrhizal Fungi in fall and spring as a top dressing for the lawn, to enrich garden soil, to mulch around trees and shrubs, to loosen clay soils and improve moisture holding capacity of sandy soils. Nature’s Creation® Organic Compost with Mycorrhizal Fungi is the perfect replacement for Canadian sphagnum peat. Benefits of Mycorrhizal Fungi Mycorrhizal Fungi exist in symbiotic relationship with plant roots. Mycorrhizal literally means fungus root. Nature’s Creation® Organic Compost with Mycorrhizal Fungi contains 11 different strains of the genera Glomus, Rhizopogon, Pisolithus and Scleroderma. Mycorrhizae are divided into two basic classes, Endo and Ecto. The Endomycorrhizae actually penetrate roots to help capture nutrients and micronutrients from the soil. Ectomycorrhizae work mainly with woody plants forming what is commonly known as the Wood Wide Web. Both types benefit the host plants by increasing drought tolerance, water and nutrient uptake and disease resistance.

Full-sized trees can be so productive that you won't even mind sharing the fruits on top with the birds. Since figs don't ripen at all after harvest, make sure they're fully ripe when you pick them!

You'll see some established beauties that define the front of our store, such as our Desert Willow, Turk's Cap, or Pride of Barbados. As well as see our progress on Linden's new native bed, or Richard's revitalized herb garden. Nursery manager and assistant GM Nathan Unclebach will be leading this plant walkthrough on October 4th at 10 a.m. Walk alongside him and absorb his decades of cool and weird plant knowledge.

This is a hybrid between our native trumpet vine and a trumpet vine with larger flowers that is native to China and Japan. It's less aggressive than most trumpet vines, and should not produce viable seeds, but will still spread via runners and can still destroy a fence, so choose the site for this plant carefully! Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 10'-15' Width: 20'-30' Hardiness Zone: 4
- [Evergreen Wisteria](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/evergreen-wisteria/) - Millettia reticulata - Vine from southern China - Deciduous in Central Texas - Shrubby, twining habit - 4-6”, upward-facing, fragrant, deep violet flower clusters bloom in summer Light: Full sun.

Passionflowers have the coolest flowers, and this one's deep purple hue and dramatic, light colored crown is one of our favorites! Fast growing, very hardy in our zone, and a host to gulf fritillary butterflies, so you can be sure to see lots of beautiful fritillaries fluttering around and cool, spiky, punk-rock caterpillars on these vines. Rest assured: even if caterpillars fully defoliate your vines, they will bounce back and look beautiful again in no time. This is the vine covering the fence next to our water lilies and bog plants! Light: Full sun. Tolerates some shade. Height: 6'-10' Width: 10'-20' Hardiness Zone: 6
- [English Ivy](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/english-ivy/) - Hedera helix - Evergreen vine from Europe and western Asia - Spreads vigorously - Climbing aerial roots affix to walls and trees - Can be used as a groundcover - Invasive in much of the US, including Central Texas This can be a quickly spreading cover for the ground or for fences, but be warned: this plant can and will choke out other vegetation, destroy brickwork, or escape your yard and annoy your neighbors. Given these tendencies, we suggest confining it to a container and keeping a close eye on it. It also makes a great houseplant. Light: Part to full shade Height: 90' Width: indefinite Hardiness Zone: 7
- [Coral Honeysuckle](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/coral-honeysuckle/) - Lonicera sempervirens - Local native semi-evergreen vine from Central Texas to Maine - Twining habit - Coral pink flowers spring to summer - Prune as needed soon after flowering ends This is probably our staff favorite vine! Usually evergreen here in central Texas, the vine also has sweet coral pink to orange tubular flowers all spring and summer. It grows quickly, but not so aggressively that you have to worry about it ruining your fence or your house. Best of all, the tubular orange flowers attract hummingbirds and the foliage is a host plant for the Snowberry Clearwing, an adorable sphinx moth that looks kind of like a big, fat, fuzzy, golden honeybee. A beautiful screening plant that brings this much cuteness to the garden really can't be beat. Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 1'-3' Width: 6'-20' Hardiness Zone: 4
- [Creeping Fig Ivy](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/creeping-fig-ivy/) - Ficus pumila - Evergreen vine from eastern Asia - Small, heart-shaped leaves - Clings to most non-metal surfaces without support - Clean-looking wall coverage - Can also be used as groundcover For that rustic, cottagecore, crumbling-ruins aesthetic. We love adding creeping fig ivy to any planting that includes rock walls or statuary to instantly age it a little bit, make it look less new and artificial and more like it has been moldering gently in place for a few hundred years before you happened to stumble upon its unique beauty. It's also much less invasive and destructive than English Ivy, which is often used for the same effect but can quickly get out of hand, with a more delicate look. We're big fans.

Clematis vines can be notoriously difficult to site, but the incredible show of large deep purple flowers are worth learning about what you have and what it needs! Since this hybrid clematis blooms on both old and new growth, you can choose to either prune lightly to shape right after blooming, or simply cut vines to the ground in fall or spring. All clematis vines like to have their flowering vines in some sun (morning sun preferred), and moist shade around their roots (best achieved by companion planting with shrubs and perennials to keep the ground cool and moist).

The spikes of little blue-purple flowers make it especially beautiful in spring. We also like it planted around the edges of water features and artificial springs, where it appreciates the splashing and creates interesting nooks and crannies of greenery amidst the rocks. Light: Part to full shade Height: 6"-10" Width: 12"+ Hardiness Zone: 3
- [Aztec Grass/Giant Mondo](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/aztec-grass-giant-mondo/) - Ophiopogon jaburan argenteovittatus - White and green striped grass - White flowers on spikes - Blooms in summer - Great for tall borders White leaf margins make this grass-like plant (actually more closely related to lilies) a great design element in shady gardens, where it can make a brighter accent or border in dry shade. While it is fairly well adapted to central Texas, it will be prettiest if you can give it some shade throughout the day and supplemental water during droughts, but it is more than capable of surviving even in fairly harsh summers without supplemental irrigation. Light: Part to full shade Height: 2' Width: 1' Hardiness Zone: 8
- [Caerulea Blue Passionvine](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/caerulea-blue-passionvine/) - Passiflora caerulea - Perennial rapid growing vine - White flower with bright blue corolla - Summer & spring bloomer - Glossy green foliage Passionflowers might be the coolest looking flowers around: they are big, showy, and otherworldly. P. caurulea is especially beautiful, with the bright blue crown highlighted against white petals. This plant prefers good drainage and deep, infrequent watering. It's also a host plant for the gulf fritillary butterfly, so an excellent choice for a butterfly garden or wildlife garden in need of food sources for caterpillars! Look out for these orange, spiky little friends a couple of times a year, and rest assured that the plant will recover cheerfully even if the caterpillars fully defoliate it. It's absolutely worth it to have a garden full of gulf fritillaries fluttering around! Light: Full sun. Tolerates shade. Height: 10'-25' Width: 3'-6' Hardiness Zone: 7
- [Aristolochia Dutchman's Pipe Vine](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/aristolochia-dutchmans-pipe-vine/) - Aristolochea gigantea - A traditional garden favorite - Rapidly growing heart-leaf vine - Unusual brownish purple flower - Use for dense fence or patio coverage This tropical pipe vine can quickly cover an arbor in its large, heart-shaped leaves, and the big, weird flowers are fantastical and whimsical! Choose a protected location or use to provide quick annual cover. A note: this species is poisonous to native pipevine swallowtail caterpillars, so don't choose this variety for a butterfly garden. Instead, opt for Aristolochia fimbriata or one of the native pipevines. Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 15'-30' Width: 15'-20' Hardiness Zone: 10

Wisterias bloom on new wood, so you can train it easily by pruning in winter when the plant is dormant. Then, in spring, enjoy the long sprays of beautiful purple flowers--perfect as a screen near a place where you sit, so that you can enjoy their fragrance. It's also a host plant for several species of butterflies and skippers, making it a good choice for a habitat garden. Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 10'-15' Width: 4' Hardiness Zone: 5

Created by the same breeders that produced KnockOut roses, Drift roses are meant to be relatively easy to care for, but please be prepared to provide lots of morning sun, protection from afternoon sun in the summer, regular applications of acidic fertilizer, and good air circulation. In the summer, they will turn yellow and defoliate if they get too hot, so avoid rock mulch or decomposed granite.

Did you know that yaupon holly is the only source of caffeine native to North America? Multiple indigenous tribes roasted the leaves and steeped them to produce a caffeintated drink, a practice they passed on to colonists that didn't fall out of fashion until the nineteenth century. The latin name, "vomitoria," refers to the fact that some tribes used this tea for ritual purging. Today, this beautiful evergreen tree dots local wooded areas and landscapes, where the berries are an important food source for birds in late winter. Skyline is a version of this tree that has an especially dense, narrow, columnar growth habit, making it great for formal plantings and screening out your neighbors or loud, unsightly traffic.

Multiple indigenous tribes roasted the leaves and steeped them to produce a caffeintated drink, a practice they passed on to colonists that didn't fall out of fashion until the nineteenth century. The latin name, "vomitoria," refers to the fact that some tribes used this tea for ritual purging. Today, this beautiful evergreen tree dots local wooded areas and landscapes, where the berries are an important food source for birds in late winter.

- [Micron Dwarf Yaupon Holly](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/micron-dwarf-yaupon-holly/) - Ilex vomitoria ‘Gremicr’ - Local native evergreen shrub - Very small, dark green leaves - Top performer for very low hedges or small mounds - Looks good massed or in pairs - Perfect for any style of garden Did you know that yaupon holly is the only source of caffeine native to North America? Multiple indigenous tribes roasted the leaves and steeped them to produce a caffeintated drink, a practice they passed on to colonists that didn't fall out of fashion until the nineteenth century. The latin name, "vomitoria," refers to the fact that some tribes used this tea for ritual purging. Today, this beautiful evergreen tree dots local wooded areas and landscapes, where the berries are an important food source for birds in late winter. Micron is a tiny dwarf version of this tree that stays an adorable little mounded shrub in the landscape, not more than 2' tall.

- [Glossy Abelia](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/glossy-abelia/) - Abelia x grandiflora - Evergreen, flowering shrub - Delicate white-pink flowers - Blooms summer to fall - Great for low hedges or foundation plantings. This is the largest abelia cultivar, and makes a great screen or hedge. Fast, densely growing foliage means it looks nice, full, and dark green shortly after you cut it back or shape it. Add in the flowers, and this is one of the prettiest evergreen hedges you can grow in Central Texas. Or grow it like Meghan's mom as a big, beautiful, arcing specimen plant in front of a window (so you don't have to look at your neighbor's AC unit). Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 6' Width: 6' Hardiness Zone: 6
- [Kaleidoscope Abelia](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/kaleidoscope-abelia/) - Abelia x grandiflora 'Kaleidoscope' - Evergreen shrub from China - Fast growing, arching branches - ‘Kaleidoscope’ features variegated leaves that tint orange in fall - White to pale pink flowers - Good for unpruned hedges Every abelia is someone's favorite on our nursery and landscaping teams, and this one is Zaine's. He loves the way the colors change on it in the fall, as well as its neat, tidy little size and shape and the way it bounces back quickly after cold snaps. The flower sheathes (called calyces) are high contrast and pop beautifully against the variegated foliage and white flowers.

- [Dwarf Yaupon Holly](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/dwarf-yaupon-holly/) - Ilex vomitoria 'Nana' - Local native evergreen shrub - Small, glossy green leaves - Top performer for low hedges or medium mounds - Looks good massed or in pairs - Perfect for any style of garden Did you know that yaupon holly is the only source of caffeine native to North America? Multiple indigenous tribes roasted the leaves and steeped them to produce a caffeintated drink, a practice they passed on to colonists that didn't fall out of fashion until the nineteenth century. The latin name, "vomitoria," refers to the fact that some tribes used this tea for ritual purging. Today, this beautiful evergreen tree dots local wooded areas and landscapes, where the berries are an important food source for birds in late winter. Dwarf yaupon "Nana" is a great, tidy little shrub that makes an excellent replacement for boxwoods in sunny, hot locations. Because it is a male cultivar, it will not produce berries.

- [Ellen Huff Oakleaf Hydrangea](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/ellen-huff-oakleaf-hydrangea/) - Hydrangea quercifolia 'Ellen Huff' - Lovely shrub with white flower clusters that age to soft pink. - Brilliant burgundy red fall foliage - Ornamental deep cinnamon bark. - An outstanding accent specimen. Native to east Texas all the way to the coast of the southeastern US, this is a gorgeous accent shrub to add soft texture and structure to a shaded woodland garden, as well as interest for every season--white flowers in spring, big soft green leaves in summer, red foliage in fall, and exfoliating cinnamon colored bark in winter. Unlike other hydrangeas, oakleaf hydrangea is reasonably well-adapted to our alkaline soil. Still, keep in mind that in nature, this species grows in low, moist woodlands and on riverbanks, so make sure to provide lots of organic matter, compost, and irrigate during droughts. Ellen Huff is one of the biggest varieties, so give her lots of space. Blooms on old wood, so prune immediately after flowering if you'd like a tidier shape. Light: Part sun Height: 8' Width: 6' Hardiness Zone: 5
- [Cherry Blast Loropetalum](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/cherry-blast-loropetalum/) - Loropetalum chinensis 'Cherry Blast' - Evergreen shrub from China - ‘Cherry Blast’ features very dark foliage and deep red, fringed flowers in spring - Provides contrast and color - Prefers rich, acidic soil Loropetalum is a customer favorite because that dark purple foliage is just so striking in the landscape, adding quick, consistent color and interest to the garden. The spidery-looking flowers are also beautiful, and this cultivar's flowers are an especially dark, deep red. This plant can be a little bit needy in central Texas because it prefers rich, acidic, well-draining soil and some afternoon shade, but it's pretty enough to be worth the trouble. Light: Part shade. Tolerates sun. Height: 6' Width: 6' Hardiness Zone: 7
- [Desperado Texas Sage](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/desperado-texas-sage/) - Leucophyllum frutescens ‘Greado’ - Local native evergreen shrub from hillsides in Central Texas to Mexico - Medium mauve 1” flowers burst into bloom before rain comes - Tough as nails in hot, dry, rocky, alkaline soil If you need shrubs or hedges in a truly punishingly sunny and dry location, consider Texas sage. Tiny white hairs densely cover the leaves, making the foliage a beautiful silvery color and protecting the plant from bright sun and searing reflective heat. According to local lore, these bushes act like barometers, covering themselves in a flush of purple blooms just before it rains. We find their accuracy uncanny! This cultivated variety (cultivar for short) has very silver foliage and lavender-pinkish blooms. Light: Full sun Height: 6' Width: 4'-6' Hardiness Zone: 8
- [Centre Court Cherry Laurel](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/centre-court-cherry-laurel/) - Prunus caroliniana 'Grecct' - Native evergreen shrub from thickets from East Texas to NC - Glossy, dark green leaves - Spires of white flowers in spring - Excellent windbreak or lightly pruned hedge This small, evergreen, densely foliaged tree is ideal for those who need a taller evergreen screen quickly, such as to block the view of (or from) a neighbor's two-story house. It's also great for pollinators, great for birds, and not prone to the same disease issues as Red-Tip Photinia, the non-native plant most commonly used for this purpose in the 1980s and '90s. We have them planted by the Pro Shop, if you'd like to see their dense evergreen foliage and tidy conical shape in action! Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 30' Width: 15' Hardiness Zone: 7

They grow quickly once established, and unlike the Red-Tip Photinia, Ligustrums, and Privets we do not sell on principle, they are native, good for wildlife, and will not contract an ugly fungal disease and decline over a period of years. This dwarf cultivar is also the perfect size without requiring maintenance or trimming to keep it from turning into a large tree.

This one is Alan's and Richard's. They love the coppery color of the new foliage, which makes a high contrast against other garden plants and looks especially great with loropetalum. This one makes a beautiful soft, unpruned specimen plant, but looks especially cool right after it's shaped and pushes out all that pretty, orange-red new growth. Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 3'-5' Width: 5'-6' Hardiness Zone: 6
- [Yellow Bells Esperanza](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/yellow-bells-esperanza/) - Tecoma stans - Bright tubular yellow flowers all summer long - Perennial comes back from the roots in mid-spring - Customer and pollinator favorite! Native to the Southwestern US (including Texas!), this tropical looking flower takes heat and drought like a champion. Like Pride of Barbados, it comes up late in the spring and keeps your garden showy and beautiful during the worst parts of summer, and is carefree once it's established (just make sure you give it extra protection for its first winter). Pollinators love the giant, yellow tubular flowers, and so do we! Also a host plant for some very cool varieties of sphinx moth, and the very cute dogface butterfly. Light: Full sun. Tolerates shade. Height: 3' - 6' Width: 3' - 4' Hardiness Zone: 8

What's not to love? The soft texture goes well with other xeric plants like blackfoot daisy, all of the salvias, yarrow, Texas sage, and more. It also looks great spilling over rocks. Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 10" Width: 18" Hardiness Zone: 7
- [Black & Blue Salvia](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/black-blue-salvia/) - Salvia guaranitica 'Black & Blue' - Stunning blue flowers on black stems bloom spring to fall - Heat and drought tolerant - Tough colorful perennial - Textured deep green foliage Native to South America, this salvia has dark blue flowers with black calyces, making a striking effect in pots and mixed with lighter colored flowers. The flowers are also quite big, making it a favorite with pollinators. This plant is happiest with afternoon shade--those big, soft, dark green leaves can burn in the summer if they aren't protected. Still, this is a beautiful, showy plant for a shady garden! Light: Part shade Height: 2' - 5' Width: 2' - 5' Hardiness Zone: 7
- [Texas Rock Rose](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/texas-rock-rose/) - Pavonia lasiopetala - Local native deciduous subshrub from Central Texas to Mexico - Gorgeous, deep pink 1.5” flowers from spring to fall - Bright color for part shade! - Prune in winter and also to shape Another versatile, native member of the hibiscus family for your garden! Provided that you have good drainage, this small shrub performs well in full sun or in sun for half the day, and is an excellent choice for those difficult west facing shade gardens where the only available sunshine is scorching. It also blooms for most of the year, making it an excellent choice for butterfly and pollinator gardens: in early spring and late summer, when nothing else is there for your pollinators, Texas Rock Rose has your back. It has a sprawling, informal look if left unpruned, and the soft, fuzzy little leaves add welcome texture to the garden! Light: Full sun to dappled shade Height: 2' - 3' Width: 3' Hardiness Zone: 8
- [Imperial Blue Plumbago](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/imperial-blue-plumbago/) - Plumbago auriculata ‘Imperial Blue’ - Evergreen shrub from South Africa - ‘Imperial Blue’ is more compact - Luminous, sky blue flowers bloom continuously from spring to fall - Heat tolerant; prefers acidic soil - A customer favorite! True blue flowers are beautiful in the garden, but boy is it difficult to find an actually blue flower. That's why people love plumbago: it's one of the few true blue flowers! It also sticks to you and your dogs, which can be fun! Make sure to get it in the ground before October and provide extra mulch and water for the first winter, but it's pretty carefree once established.

Grant liked it so much he named it after his great grandmother and used this plant as a parent for his other cultivars, including Pam's Pink! This native hibiscus relative looks beautiful in any amount of light, any kind of soil, any amount of drought, and even tolerates seasonal flooding and poor drainage. Hummingbirds especially love the giant red flowers, and you can even eat the little fruits, which taste like tiny apples (earning the plant one of its many common names, Manzanita or Mexican Apple). Bonus fun fact: Grant was our nursery manager Nathan's mentor, and he's seen the original Big Momma Turk's Cap in real life!

- [Blackfoot Daisy](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/blackfoot-daisy/) - Melampodium leucanthum - Local native evergreen perennial from Colorado to Mexico - Covered with white flowers for nine months every year nonstop! - All-time customer favorite! - The floweriest plant for hot, dry, well-drained areas This is one tough plant! In the wild, you'll find blackfoot daisy clinging to rocky slopes made of limestone and caliche, blooming cheerfully all summer without a drop of extra irrigation thanks to small, sandpapery leaves and deep, woody root systems. In the garden, the tiny white flowers and evergreen foliage will brighten up hot spots with reflective heat from rocks or sidewalks without complaint. Rich soil and extra water may promote more flowers in the short term, but can shorten this perennial's life, so be sure to give it good drainage and resist the urge to fertilize. Blackfoot daisy also looks great as a perennial anchor in wildflower plantings, flowering and holding soil down after your bluebonnets and blanketflowers call it quits when the summer heats up.

- [Silver Pony Foot](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/silver-pony-foot/) - Dichondra argentea - Native semi-evergreen perennial from W. Texas to AZ & Mexico - Striking, shiny silver foliage - A lush groundcover for well- drained soil - Cascades from containers too! Eye-catching silvery color and cute little leaves that really are reminiscent of pony's feet. This cute groundcover looks great spilling from a container, but also controls erosion and makes an excellent grass replacement that you'll never have to mow (and is especially handsome when paired with frogfruit). These little feet do tend to wander, so either rein it in with full sun and drier conditions or plant it somewhere that you don't mind its tendency to spread. Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 2' Width: 2' - 3' Hardiness Zone: 8
- [Gregg's Blue Mistflower](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/greggs-blue-mistflower/) - Conoclinium greggii - Native deciduous perennial from South Texas to Arizona & Mexico - Puffy periwinkle flowers from May to October, heaviest in fall - Fresh-looking bright green leaves - Butterfly MAGNET!! They love it! Native to West Texas, this plant loves full sun and tolerates seasonal flooding if it has good drainage. It also looks positively magical as soon as it starts blooming in late spring: misty clusters of light purple flowers and a rabble of butterflies and native bees make it a perfect addition to a butterfly garden or any part of your landscape that you just like to sit and look at. Use this plant as a groundcover or natural looking border, and be sure to give it some water in the hottest parts of summer to keep it blooming. Male Queen and Monarch butterflies use the nectar from this plant as a gift when they mate, as it contains a compound that makes the resulting eggs taste bad to predators! Light: Full sun to part shade Height: 12" - 18" Width: 12" - 24" Hardiness Zone: 7
- [Foxtail Fern](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/foxtail-fern/) - Asparagus densiflorus ‘Myers’ - Evergreen perennial from southern Africa - Dense, bright green cones of tiny leaves - Great texture for containers or seasonal beds This plant--actually more closely related to edible asparagus and not a fern at all (but please don't try to eat it)--is the cutest little accent in container arrangements! It's also extremely drought tolerant, which can be very helpful for container plantings and beds with dry shade (like those found under live oak trees). Great as a houseplant, too!

- [Pride of Barbados](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/pride-of-barbados/) - Caesalpinia pulcherrima - Deciduous shrub from the Caribbean - Crinkled bright orange & red flowers - Blooms all summer when it’s HOT! - Loves Texas sun and heat - Dies back in frost but re-grows every April! Yeah! This plant is ubiquitous in full sun plantings in Central Texas, and with good reason: once established, it takes full sun and punishing drought like a champion, no additional irrigation required. It's also stunningly gorgeous, with sprays of big orange and red flowers that will attract hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden. It's also a legume, so it will also improve your soil below ground while looking beautiful above. The only drawback is that this awesome plant's native range is further south than Central Texas, so it dies all the way to the ground in the winter. We recommend getting your plants in the ground before October and mulching them heavily the first winter; after that, it's a big, carefree, reliable friend for any xeric pollinator garden.

- [Native Milkweed](https://hillcountrywatergardens.com/product/native-milkweed/) - Asclepias tuberosa - Local native deciduous perennial found in prairies throughout North America - One of eight locally native milkweed species - Bright orange flowers from May to September - Larval host for Monarch and Queen butterflies Save the monarchs. Save the world. Plants in the asclepias genus don't just sustain migrating monarchs as they pass through Central Texas in the spring: they also provide critical nectar and pollen for bumblebees and other native pollinators, attract beneficial insects, and sustain over twenty species of moth and butterfly caterpillar in addition to the charismatic Monarch we all know and love. Also called pleurisy root, Asclepias tuberosa has distinctive bright orange flowers, clear latex sap (instead of "milky" sap like other milkweeds), and a long history of medicinal uses by indigenous Americans in its native range. Plant native milkweeds like this one in order to avoid interfering with the monarch migration and contributing to OE, the parasitic disease epidemic that is currently harming migrating monarch populations in North America.

The beautiful red beans have been found in archaological sites dating back to the 8000s BCE. By the time we have records after colonization, we know that many tribes used the beautiful little red beans for jewelry, decoration, beadwork, and in ritual ceremonies tied to intoxication and visions. Today, your children may use the little red beans to play the hot beans game, rubbing the beans on the sidewalk to activate its many toxic compounds and then sticking them on their friends' arms to burn them.

Spend time with our in-house nursery specialists building a terrarium! Our specialists will help you understand how to properly layer soil substrate, design, plant, and plan maintenance routines based on the plants you selected. A small glass vessel is provided with the purchase of a workshop entry. We encourage you to bring your own terrarium (any clear glass or plastic vessel) for a personal touch. Suggestions for picking your own terrarium vessel: If you plan to grow carnivorous plants or moss we suggest having a closed to semi-closed terrarium to properly maintain humidity. Completely closed terrariums will need to be opened at least once a week. Semi-closed may require compensational misting. We do not recommend completely open terrariums for carnivorous plants. Terrariums with a narrow opening are not recommended for this class. They can be difficult to plant for beginners. Try to pick something large enough to move your hands in. Here is a list of common glass that can be used as a terrarium: Cleaned jam or pickle jars Wide flower vases Old goldfish aquariums Stemless wine glasses Clear cookie jars Goodwill typically has a great selection of affordable glassware. *Cancelations 48 hours before the class can be refunded by calling 512-260-5050. because this is an internet transaction, please allow 48 hours to see your refund.
