Native Texas Shrubs & Accent Plants: True Natives vs Native Cultivars

In this episode of Let’s Grow Together, we take a closer look at Texas native shrubs, grasses, succulents, and architectural accent plants while exploring the debate between true natives and native cultivars. Featuring perspectives from three different voices in the horticulture and landscape world, we discuss appearance, adaptability, maintenance, wildlife value, and how these plants function in modern Texas landscapes.

Featured plants include Neomexicana Agave, Red Yucca, Horsetail Reed, Dwarf Yaupon Holly, Pink Muhly Grass, Mexican Feather Grass, Wood Ferns, Texas Sage, Cholla, and Senna.

From bold desert textures to soft native grasses and flowering shrubs, this episode highlights how thoughtful plant selection can create landscapes that are both beautiful and environmentally resilient.
