Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) is a native, adaptable evergreen shrub or small tree from the southeastern U.S., known for its glossy green leaves, dense growth, and bright red berries on female plants, making it excellent for hedges, screens, and wildlife plantings. It tolerates heat, drought, and various soils, and its leaves can be used to brew a caffeinated tea, though the name vomitoria comes from a historical, misunderstood purification ritual.
Key Characteristics
Appearance: Small, glossy, dark green leaves, smooth light gray bark, and red berries (on female plants).
Size: Varies by cultivar, from dwarf mounding forms to small trees up to 20-25 feet tall.
Growth: Dense and adaptable, tolerates full sun to shade (more berries in sun).
Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 7-9.
Uses in Landscaping
Hedges & Screens: Excellent for informal hedges, privacy screens, and living fences due to dense foliage.
Wildlife: Berries are a food source for birds and mammals; flowers attract pollinators.
Ornamental: Used as specimen plants, foundation plantings, or in containers.
Forms: Available in many cultivars, including dwarf ('Nana', 'Schillings'), weeping, and columnar.
Care & Considerations
Soil: Adaptable to most well-draining soils, including clay, sand, and poor soils.
Water: Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering.
Pruning: Responds well to shearing for formal shapes or can be left natural.
Toxicity: Berries are toxic to humans if ingested in large quantities, but the tea is safe and caffeinated.

Oenothera filiformis, commonly known as longflower beeblossom or large-flowered gaura, is a flowering plant native to the central United States, known for its showy, white to pink flowers that open in the evening and attract pollinators like bees.

Height: Can reach up to 12 feet tall.
Habitat: Prairies, glades, woodlands, and disturbed areas, often over calcareous (lime-rich) soils.
Pollinators: A magnet for bees (carpenter, sweat, honeybees) and hoverflies.
Life Cycle: Can be annual, biennial, or perennial.
Growing Information
Soil: Prefers well-drained soils, including sandy, clay, or rocky types.

Ageratina havanensis, commonly known as Fragrant Mistflower or Shrubby Boneset, is a drought-tolerant, evergreen shrub native to Texas, Mexico, and the Caribbean, prized for its long-lasting, fragrant, pinkish-white flowers that bloom from spring to fall. It's a valuable pollinator plant, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and thrives in full sun to part shade in well-drained soils, making it ideal for xeriscapes and wildlife gardens.
Key Characteristics
Appearance: A rounded shrub, 2-6 ft tall, with many stems and triangular, toothed leaves.
Flowers: Fuzzy, white to pinkish-white clusters that bloom prolifically from April to December, depending on rainfall.
Pollinator Magnet: A major source of late-season nectar and pollen for hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, and bees.
Deer Resistant: Foliage is unpalatable to deer.
Growing Conditions
Light: Full sun to part shade (at least half a day of sun is best).
Soil: Adaptable to most well-drained soils, including clay, loam, sand, and limestone.
Water: Low water needs; drought-tolerant once established.
Hardiness: Grows in USDA zones 7-11; may be deciduous in colder areas.
Care and Maintenance
Pruning: Cut back by about one-third in late winter to encourage bushier growth and more blooms, as it flowers on new wood.
Placement: Excellent for rocky hillsides, woodland edges, and pollinator gardens.

The fall obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana), also known as False Dragonhead, is a hardy North American perennial famous for its late summer-to-fall blooms. It gets its name because if you manually push a single flower to the left or right, it "obeys" by staying in that exact position.
Here are the key things you need to know about this unique wildflower:
Care & Growing Conditions
Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade (full sun yields the most prolific blooms).
Soil & Water: Prefers moist, rich, well-draining soil but is highly adaptable and tolerates clay and poor drainage.
Maintenance: It generally doesn’t require staking or pinching, making it an easy-care addition to cottage gardens, borders, or meadows.
Important Characteristics
Interactive Flowers: The snapdragon-like, tubular blooms open progressively from bottom to top and can be manually swiveled into new positions.
Wildlife Friendly: It acts as an excellent late-season nectar source for bumblebees, butterflies, and ruby-throated hummingbirds. It also boasts a high resistance to deer.
Aggressive Spread: Be mindful that this member of the mint family spreads vigorously through underground rhizomes. To keep it from taking over your garden bed, you can plant it in bottomless containers, curb watering, or easily pull out the shallow roots.

Texas sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) is a hardy, drought-tolerant evergreen shrub known for its silvery-gray foliage and vibrant purple or pink flowers that often bloom after rain, earning it the nickname "barometer bush". Native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, it thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and hot, dry conditions, making it ideal for xeriscaping, hedges, and low-maintenance landscapes. It's deer-resistant and attracts pollinators, requiring minimal water and fertilizer once established.
Key Characteristics
Foliage: Silvery-gray, fine-textured leaves that reflect heat.
Flowers: Abundant lavender to deep purple (or sometimes pink/white) blooms that appear after high humidity or rain.
Size: Typically grows 5–8 feet tall and wide, with some varieties reaching up to 10 feet.
Hardiness: Extremely heat and drought-tolerant; cold-hardy to about 5°F.
Growing Conditions
Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) is essential for best flowering.
Soil: Needs excellent drainage; tolerates poor, rocky, or alkaline soils but hates "wet feet".
Water: Water regularly to establish, then infrequently; it thrives on neglect.
Fertilizer: Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can cause leggy growth; lean soil is best.
Uses & Care
Uses: Hedges, borders, foundation plantings, and accent plants in water-wise gardens.
Pruning: Best pruned lightly in late winter or after a bloom cycle to maintain shape; avoid shearing with hedge trimmers as it can thin the plant.
Wildlife: Deer-resistant and provides nectar for pollinators like bees and butterflies.

1 gallon pots available $10 ea.
Peter's Purple' Bee Balm (Monarda × peter's purple) is a vigorous, heat-loving perennial hybrid highly prized for its showy lavender-purple flowers and powdery mildew-resistant foliage. Thriving in the Texas heat and humidity, it grows 3 to 5 feet tall and attracts a multitude of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Key Growing Requirements:
Sunlight: Prefers full sun for the best blooms, but tolerates partial shade (especially during the hot Texas afternoons).
Soil & Water: Does best in rich, organic soils. While it is more drought-tolerant than other bee balms, it performs best with regular watering.
Hardiness: Winter hardy in USDA Zones 6–9. It will die back after the first frost in winter and re-emerge in mid-spring.
Maintenance: Spreads through underground rhizomes. Pruning the stems back after they finish blooming can help keep the plant compact, and you can divide the clumps every 3 to 4 years.
Uses:
Pollinator Gardens: Excellent choice for back-of-border planting to provide height and structure.
Cut Flowers: The unusual, shaggy flower heads make great cut flowers, and the aromatic leaves can be dried for use in herbal teas.

Fruit: Showy clusters of coral-pink to purple berries that persist through winter.
Native Range: Eastern and central United States.
Growing Conditions

Uses & Benefits
Wildlife: Berries feed birds and mammals; flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Erosion Control: Excellent for stabilizing slopes due to its spreading habit.
Landscaping: Ideal for naturalized areas, woodland gardens, and informal borders; can be used under power lines.
Considerations
Spreading: Spreads aggressively via root suckers; remove runners if you want to control its size.
Look-alike: Can be confused with invasive bush honeysuckles, but coralberry's berries are dry and persistent, while honeysuckle berries are watery and disappear earlier.
