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.

(Iberis sempervirens)
Candy Tuft requires well-drained soil, full to partial sun, and medium to low water once established.
While it’s not native, it is an adapted, hardy, drought-tolerant perennial groundcover that can be a beautiful addition to rock gardens, borders, and as a general groundcover.
After the spring bloom, you can cut back the plants to encourage continued flowering throughout the summer and prevent them from becoming leggy.
(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.
(Dichondra argentea ‘Silver Falls’)
Pale green groundcover that enjoys sun to partial shade. Provides an interesting contrast with other brighter plants in the garden. Once established is a fast grower.
(Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus’)
This rosemary grows in very fragrant blue-green mounds that will get up to 3′ tall. Blue-white flowers appear through mid-summer.
Good for cascading over walls and covering slopes; works well in large containers as well.
Looks great with salvias, grasses, and roses; likes good drainage and takes little water.
Also good for cooking or grilling.
