Thank you! Appreciate how you included all the details of each plant…and showed the ones who have a long blooming time! Have a blessed day, and thanks again ❤😊
You’re most welcome Maximus! If you’re interested there’s a part 1 as well. Also I really found this video helpful th-cam.com/video/3wwDY38VVLg/w-d-xo.html
These videos are so great, thanks very much. I live up in McKinney (north of Dallas) and I need some foundation shrubs for my west-facing wall. It's about as full sun as you can get and sadly, one of the only full sun areas I have. Do you have any recommendations for full sun TX native perennials that are evergreen to put against the foundation of the house? Thanks so much!
Thank-you! I’m glad to be a help. Hands down my FAVORITE native shrub is salvia greggi(autumn sage). They are evergreen to semi evergreen and they flower. They can take full texas sun. They benefit from some pruning in late winter to promote a fuller shrub. They get about 3’x3’ in height and spread. The‘mirage’ varieties of salvia greggi are smaller. Another great native is dwarf yaupon holly which is tough as nails with minimal maintenance and gets about 4’x4’. A fun option is red yucca. The base remains evergreen and they have tall flower spikes in spring/summer. These are virtually indestructible. Consider using all three for a little variety and biodiversity. Hope that helps!
@@theplantninja-texasgardener Thank you so much for the detailed response. Autumn Sage is a great idea. Interestingly enough, I've got some tropical sage under a crepe myrtle out there too, but in a much shadier area. I'm trying to get it to surround the tree in a ring. Should be nice.
Happy it was a help to you! I’m actually closer to Austin and I’m not familiar with Ft worth nurseries. I think you’d have better ability finding most of these in the spring at a local garden nursery. Most local nurseries will have these in stock during peak seasons(spring/early fall). The big box stores (Lowe’s and Home Depot) sometimes have native plants but I find not as often as local nurseries. Good for you for getting a plan together! Best wishes!
Great video! My very favorite is the red yucca ♥
That red yucca is so low maintenance. It’s awesome 😊
Red Yucca for the win. You had me at minimal maintenance..
I’ve got one and have completely forgotten about it….it’s now flowering 😜

Plains coreopsis and blue flax is also great. I would love to see you do the different regions of Texas, from the plains, to desert to swamp land.
Nice plant suggestions! Covering the various regions of Texas in an excellent content idea. Thanks🙌
I might have to check this out next time im in the area
I really enjoyed going in April. I’m not hardcore enough to brave it during the summer😆
I planted pink skullcap in my prior landscape. It grew and spread very well (part shade). Is this the same as Wright's Skullcap?
Hello! They are very similar but wright’s skullcap is the Texas native version of pink skullcap, which is a Mexican native.
where to get all this in fort worth TX,Thank for all infor
