- Liz Pfluger from Green ‘n Growing nursery in Pflugerville spotlights native plants geared for the Blackland Prairie that cross over to rockier soils in the Hill Country. Plants include: Indian blanket, big bluestem, little bluestem, bushy bluestem, blue grama, purple skullcap, Artemisia ludoviciana, coralberry, elbow bush and Carolina buckthorn. We ran out of time to include other reliable plants: pink evening primrose, snake herb (ground cover for shade), and prairie verbena.

I love Green N Growing and Liz always has the best advice!! So wonderful to see her on the show!
This was sooooo helpful! Green N Growing is our favorite nursery. Thanks for sharing.
Man, great episode y'all.
Excellent video! I am excited to visit Liz's nursery now
Great insight for those tough soils.
Thanks-so helpful! And happy to know what plants are pollinators since we’re losing an alarming amount of bees. I have LOTS of flame acanthus which volunteer themselves to about a half acre of our 3 acres. I live in Bastrop county and grow everything by seed or cuttings. Do you have a video on growing by seeds and cuttings? Or do you know where I can learn more? Thanks!
How different are the blackland prairies of Texas compared to the ones in Midwest
What a great question! It is the same prairie soil, as I understand. The temperature and amount of rain can change. Beautiful prairie designer, Kelly Norris, author of New Naturalism, has a gorgeous front yard Blackland Prairie in Iowa. We grow a lot of the same plants, but bloom times and dormancy may differ.
