Gardening with Native Plants in North Texas

Native Texas plants thrive in our harsh local climate and soils. Native and low water use does not mean cacti and gravel! North Texas is home to thousands of beautiful flowers, grasses, bushes, and trees, all perfectly adapted to live with little to no care. Whether you want a traditional suburban yard or an extravagant butterfly garden, using native Texas plants and resource conscious design principles can help you get the best yard on the block without too much effort.
This virtual class was recorded live on the week of May 18, 2021. The speaker is Ann Knudsen, Tarrant County Master Gardener.

Do you have any recommendations for blackland prairie for honeybees? I have been trying for 4 years for nectar and pollen producing flowers. I am having a very hard time to get them to grow. Thanks. I will be looking thru your other videos

I would take a look at these lists from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center: Plants with Special Value to Honeybees www.wildflower.org/collections/collection.php?collection=xerces_honey and Blackland Prairie Plants www.wildflower.org/collections/collection.php?collection=er32 . Check out some of our videos about gardening for pollinators and make sure you are planting native plants. Many of the non-native flower varieties that are sold at traditional nurseries do not have the characteristics to attract and support pollinators. Thanks for watching!
