Fall rain + cooler temps = the perfect recipe for root growth. 🌧️🌱
While everyone else is sipping pumpkin spice, we’re over here planting our hearts out — because fall is THE best time to plant in North Texas!

Warm soil + months before summer heat = stronger roots, tougher plants, and happier gardeners next year. 🙌

Come stock up on Texas-tough perennials, shrubs, and pollinator favorites that are ready to thrive. Let’s get planting! 🍁🛒

🚨Don’t Miss the Mist Flowers (FOUR TYPES in stock!)

Limited quantities available.

These might be the single best group of nectar plants you can grow in a Texas garden. Mistflowers are critical nectar sources for fall-migrating Monarchs and dozens of other butterflies, bees, and beneficial pollinators! They thrive in our climate and soils, and return bigger and better every year!

➡️ Gregg’s Mistflower (Conoclinium greggii)

Bloom Time: Late spring–fall (strongest late summer–fall)

Sunlight: Full Sun to Part Shade

Mature Size & Habit: ~20–36 tall × 2+ wide and speading

Notes: powdery blue to lavender “misty” blooms; vigorously spreads by rhizomes; absolutely swarmed by Monarchs & Queens every fall

---

➡️ White Mistflower (Ageratina havanensis)

Bloom Time: Primarily fall + bonus spring flushes

Sunlight: Sun to Shade; tolerates bright to nearly Full Shade

Mature Size & Habit: ~3–5 tall × 3–5 wide, rounded/shrubby and easily shaped

Notes: Sweet-smelling white clusters; semi-evergreen in mild winters; a late-season nectar powerhouse in Shade or Sun

---

➡️ Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum)

Bloom Time: Early Summer–Fall

Sunlight: Bright Shade to Part Sun

Mature Size & Habit: ~12–24 tall × 18–36 wide, colonizing/matting habit

Notes: Soft blue-violet blooms; slowly spreads by rhizomes; ideal for shadier pollinator corridors where others struggle, even poor draining spots

---

➡️ Chocolate Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima ‘Chocolate’)

Bloom Time: Early–mid fall with some spring blooms

Sunlight: Part Shade to Shade

Mature Size & Habit: ~3–5 tall × 2–3 wide, upright woodland perennial

Notes: Chocolate-colored stems and deeper foliage with crisp white blooms; brings butterflies into the shade

--Come shop the best nectar plants in Texas before they’re gone!
