Trees, Shrubs, Flowers, and More That Are Both Beautiful and Suitable for the Region
At Shades of Green Nursery + Landscape, we specialize in native and drought-resistant plants because we want your garden to grow—and these are the plants that grow in Frisco, Texas without demanding extra time or resources. These plants, especially when combined with drought-tolerant landscape design, create a beautiful, sustainable space you'll be able to enjoy for years to come.
When people think of drought-tolerant plants, they often think of cacti and yucca. Those have their place in your sustainable landscaping plan, but they are far from your only options. You may be surprised at the wide variety of drought-resistant plants we have available to match your preferences for maintenance, appearance, and purpose, from attracting hummingbirds to offering shade.
While most plants native to North Texas are naturally hardy and drought tolerant, not all the drought-tolerant plants in our nursery are native. They're simply well-adapted to our arid climate because they originated in another dry part of the world and have had time to acclimate to our unique combination of weather and soil, pests and pollinators.
Look at our extensive inventory of drought-resistant plants, then contact us to learn more or stop by to see them for yourself.
Sustainable and Low-Maintenance: The Benefits of Drought Tolerant Plants
By planting drought-resistant trees, shrubs, flowers, and more in your yard or garden, you're contributing to sustainability and a healthy ecosystem. These native and drought-tolerant species are every bit as unique and beautiful as plants that grow in wet or cold areas of the world. However, they require little watering or maintenance, and they're better at resisting common pests and diseases in this region. They allow Frisco, TX residents to enjoy beautiful, diverse plant life while conserving resources.
If there are particular plants you like that grow well in other parts of the world, tell us about them. We can suggest a drought-resistant alternative that offers the same visual appeal or plays the same role in your backyard ecosystem.
