Texas native plants, our specialty.
Natives are the reason plant people send their friends to Land Care Garden Center. We carry Texas native trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses suited to North Texas heat, and we are known around town for stocking ones that not everybody carries.
Why natives first? Because they were built for this. Plants that evolved in North Texas already know our clay soils, our late-summer heat, and our on-again, off-again rain. Put the right native in the right spot and it settles in faster, drinks less, and feeds the bees, birds, and butterflies that belong here.
Our selection rotates with the season, from spring-blooming natives like redbuds to the perennials and grasses that carry a bed through August. If you are chasing a specific plant, call (972) 992-1660 before you drive over and we will check the benches for you.
Not sure what fits your yard? That is the fun part. Bring photos of your space and leave with a plan.
A few of the Texas natives we grow. What is on the benches changes with the season, so call ahead if you are after something specific.
Heat proven
Natives shrug off North Texas summers that send imported plants into shock.
Water wise
Once established, most natives get by on far less water, which your bill will notice.
Pollinator friendly
Native blooms feed the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds that keep a garden alive.
What kinds of Texas native plants do you carry?
Native trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses suited to North Texas heat and clay: think autumn sage, red yucca, and Mexican feather grass, with the lineup rotating through the season. Come walk the benches or call to ask about something specific.
When is the best time to plant natives in North Texas?
Fall is the sweet spot: roots establish through the mild months, so plants hit their first summer ready for it. Spring works too with attentive watering. Our North Texas garden calendar lays out the year month by month.
Do native plants really use less water?
Once established, most Texas natives get by on far less water than imported plants — they evolved for our heat, our clay, and our on-again, off-again rain. They still need regular water through their first season while roots settle in.
