Beautiful Native Shrubs to Plant in Texas

When it comes to selecting native shrubs for aesthetic appeal in Texas, there are several exceptional choices. One standout is the Texas Sage , renowned for its stunning silver-gray foliage and vibrant purple-pink blossoms, which blanket the plant after rainfall. Another remarkable option is the Flame Acanthus, also known as the Hummingbird Bush. It boasts clusters of tubular red-orange flowers that bloom throughout the summer and attractive dark green leaves. If you seek a more compact shrub, the Esperanza is an ideal choice with its brilliant yellow trumpeted flowers that also bloom throughout the summer. Lastly we have the Eastern Purple Coneflower. These drought tolerant shrubs have lovely lavender flowers that bloom all summer long and are a butterfly magnet. These native shrubs not only showcase exquisite beauty but also support local ecosystems and wildlife, making them perfect additions to any Texas garden or landscape.
