Native Plants Are the Basis of a Succesful Garden
The USDA says a native plant is one "...that is a part of the balance of nature that has developed over hundreds or thousands of years in a particular region or ecosystem." They've been thriving on their own all this time, so many of them can do so in your yard with little human intervention. Native plants support the natural wildlife without draining the area's resources. They typically don't need much fertilizer or pesticide, and they develop healthy root systems that support the soil and prevent erosion. Texas native plants, and those that have adapted to live here, also don't require much water.
We want your garden to grow, which is why we only sell North Texas adapted and native plants. After 40 years in business and 25 years in Frisco, Texas, we're well-acquainted with what grows here—and it's a surprisingly long list! Many beautiful plants, flowers, cacti, shrubs, and trees are native to the area, so you'll have plenty of choices to suit your preferences.

More than that, we enjoy connecting our customers with the specific ones that will thrive in their gardens. If you have any questions about native plants in Frisco, TX, contact us.
