Fortunately, Central Texas offers a wide variety of beautiful and interesting native plants.

What makes a plant native? It’s a species that has grown naturally in an area for thousands of years. These plants have developed a symbiotic relationship with local wildlife—many birds, insects, and animals depend on them for survival.
