Check out which of the many attractive native plants available on the market today are considered the easiest to grow!
We surveyed our Austin membership and presented the results–wildflowers (for sun, part-shade, and shade), shrubs, vines, grasses, and yuccas– in a colorful and informative power-point at our March 16, 2010 meeting.
Here are the 27 winners: Click here to view the online version, or click here to download the power-point (pptx version, 20 MB).
Special attention was given to particularly showy blooms and seed heads, wildlife connections, and availability in the trade. Enjoy!
Great presentation Matt! Thanks for doing the survey and making such a great presentation of the results!
Knock-out power point on favorite native plants. It is perfect. Thanks.
This is wonderful. As a new comers to Texas who is trying to make their yard look like something other than “Early Abandoned cemetery” and use only native low maintenance plants, this is a super guide. Thank you.
Fabulous!
What a great powerpoint. An inspiration to do something like that for our Caddo Wildflower chapter.
