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.

(Parthenocissus tricuspidata)
From Asia despite its name, Boston ivy climbs fences, sheds, and walls with little suckering feet, which will not grow into mortar joints and damage them like English ivy will. Also makes a fine woodland groundcover; can have spectacular fall color in a good year. The variety ‘Loweii’ has a smaller, more refined leaf. This vine is deciduous but the tracery of stems on a wall can be attractive even in winter.
(Clematis Terniflora)
A deciduous vine with dark green leaves and beautiful white, fragrant, star-shaped flowers. This vine needs full sun and is fast growing and very aggressive.
(Ficus pumila)
Tiny leaves and stems cover ugly walls and fences with a layer of evergreen velvet. Useful as background for specimen plants and hiding irregularities in walls. Can take over an area in time.
