Welcome to our Plant Library! Dave and his staff share their years of experience trying out different plants, along with the maintenance know-how that comes from doing it all yourself. The photos and descriptions here will introduce you to some of the wonderful plant material we can enjoy here in North Texas. We hope you enjoy this handy resource.

(Cephalotaxus Harringtonia)
This evergreen conifer thrives in Texas, as long as it receives protection from harsh afternoon sun and is planted in cool, moist, well-drained soil.
Varieties like ‘Prostrata’ serve as excellent groundcovers, while upright cultivars like ‘Fastigiata’ can function as narrow accent plants or hedges.

(Santolina rosmarinifolia)
Well-suited for Texas landscapes due to its drought tolerance, preference for full sun, and ability to thrive in well-drained, even poor, soils.
It is an evergreen perennial shrub that produces aromatic, silvery-gray foliage and small, button-like yellow flowers.
(Asparagus densiflorus)
Asparagus ferns are excellent additions to the landscape, providing a classic fern-like texture and vibrant green foliage in shady to partly sunny locations, as well as in containers and hanging baskets.
While not true ferns, these plants are tough and drought-tolerant once established but perform best with good drainage and consistent moisture. They may experience dieback from freezes but will regrow from the base, especially if their roots are protected.
(Carex morrowii variegata)
A broad white stripe in the center of medium green leaves makes this sedge a bright spot in shady garden corners.
Clumping form will enlarge to twelve or eighteen inches tall and wide, making a nice mass planting or border.
Evergreen; will take partial sun. Needs well-drained soil and consistent moisture to do its best.
