Closed for summer


Thank you for visiting Mostly Texas Natives Nursery. We are closed for the summer. We will open for fall about Sept. 15.

Fall is the best time in Texas to plant perennials. Please check back with us Sept. 15 to see our offerings for fall.

The Blog (link at right) contains our every-so-often comments on all things involving plant propagation and Texas gardening. We will continue to muse about plants and gardening and politics throughout the summer on the Blog. Be sure to add your comments.

We are a mail-order nursery specializing in Texas native and adapted perennials, including many unusual and some rare species. Our plants are beautiful (to us, at least), low-maintenance, mostly drought-tolerant and heat-resistant.

Our perennials, grown in the Blackland Prairies region of Texas, do well in Zones 7b-9.

We emphasize heat- and drought-tolerant varieties because once native plants have established their roots, they don't require much extra watering, except in extreme drought. That saves you money on your water bills. Natives and our adapted plants are resistant to diseases and insects, and they don't require fertilizer. Just throw mulch around them.

Our plants come from seed or cuttings that we grow ourselves. None are dug up from the wild.

TEXAS GARDENING ON TWITTER

We've tired of Sex in the Texas Garden; instead, we are Twittering about Texas gardening. Read all about it:

More About Us

We are an organic nursery. We use no herbicides or fungicides and use organic methods to control most pests and diseases.

Our plants grow outside as much as possible, which we believe makes them stronger than strictly greenhouse-grown plants. They not only develop a better root system, but they also receive the benefit of rain instead of city water when possible. (This being Texas, however, some irrigation of newly grown plants is a given.) We do protect cuttings, seedlings and newly potted plants from cold during our relatively short winters.
