🌿 Speaker Highlig

🌿 Speaker Highlight: Jane Duke 🌿

Healthy native landscapes start below ground.
Before better blooms, stronger roots, and plants that can handle heat and drought—there has to be healthy, living soil.

Jane Duke’s session is all about understanding the soil ecosystem and how biology helps your landscape retain moisture, reduce stress, and become more resilient with less effort.

If you’ve ever wondered why some landscape plants thrive while others constantly struggle, this is the talk you don’t want to miss.

Jane brings deep experience in soil biology, microscopy, and practical land stewardship—making complex soil science approachable and useful for real gardeners!

Hardy hibiscus are finally in stock—and unlike tropical hibiscus, these don’t become expensive annuals after one North Texas winter!

We only sell native or native-derived hardy hibiscus, built for our heat, clay soils, humidity, and winter freezes. They produce massive dinner-plate blooms all summer, support pollinators, and come back bigger and stronger every year!

Here’s a quick breakdown of the varieties we have right now:

Texas Star Hibiscus
Hibiscus coccineus (arguably native to Texas—see BONAP)
A bold native-type hardy hibiscus with deeply cut star-shaped scarlet red flowers that hummingbirds absolutely love. Strong vertical habit, thrives in full sun with regular moisture and creates a dramatic focal point in the landscape.
5–7'H x 3–4'W

Rose Mallow / Hardy Hibiscus
Hibiscus moscheutos
This species is native to Texas, including North Texas, and is the backbone of many of the best hardy hibiscus cultivars on the market. It brings huge dinner-plate blooms, strong perennial performance, and excellent adaptation to our regional climate and soils.

Inner Glow
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Inner Glow’
A hardy hibiscus cultivar with huge blush-pink blooms and rich dark foliage that gives strong contrast in the garden. Excellent summer color with strong perennial performance in North Texas.
4–5'H x 3–4'W

Marshmallow Moon
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Marshmallow Moon’
Massive pure white flowers over deep near-black foliage make this one a serious statement plant. One of the strongest white-flowering hardy hibiscus for heat and pollinator value.
4–5'H x 4–5'W

Starry Starry Night
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Starry Starry Night’
Enormous soft pink flowers float above dramatic dark purple-black foliage for a bold landscape look. Compact enough for smaller beds while still delivering huge summer blooms.
4'H x 4–5'W

Watermelon Ruffles
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Watermelon Ruffles’
Large ruffled watermelon-pink blooms make this one one of the showiest hardy hibiscus in the garden. Strong heat tolerance and excellent repeat blooming through summer.
4–5'H x 4'W

Luna Series
Hibiscus moscheutos
The Luna series is a more compact hardy hibiscus bred for huge blooms on shorter, fuller plants—perfect for smaller gardens, containers, and strong front-of-bed color. Same winter hardiness, same massive flowers, just in a tighter footprint.

Luna White
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Luna White’
Huge pure white blooms with a bold red eye make this one clean, classic, and easy to design around. Compact growth makes it great for patios, foundation beds, and smaller landscapes.
2–3'H x 2–3'W

Luna Swirl
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Luna Swirl’
Massive white blooms brushed with pink swirls make every flower look a little different. Heavy blooming and compact growth give it strong summer color without taking over the bed.
2–3'H x 2–3'W

Luna Rose
Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Luna Rose’
Bright rosy-pink flowers with a red eye bring bold color on a shorter, more manageable plant. Excellent for smaller spaces that still need that dinner-plate bloom effect.
2–3'H x 2–3'W

Summerific® Series
Hibiscus × hybrid
Likely derived from H. moscheutos, H. coccineus, and other North American hardy hibiscus species. These are bred for improved flower size, darker foliage, stronger branching, and major landscape presence.

Summerific® Cookies and Cream
Huge white flowers with deep red centers and dark foliage give this one major contrast and curb appeal. Native-derived toughness with improved flower size and stronger garden performance.
4–5'H x 4–5'W

Summerific® Edge of Night
Near-black foliage paired with giant bright pink flowers makes this one one of the boldest in the group. Handles heat and humidity beautifully while looking almost tropical.
4–5'H x 4–5'W

Summerific® Garnet Globes
Rich deep red blooms and dark foliage create a dramatic, high-impact summer display. Looks tropical but returns reliably year after year in North Texas.
4–5'H x 4–5'W

Summerific® Valentine’s Crush
Bright bubblegum-pink blooms cover this rounded, compact grower through the hottest part of summer. Excellent for smaller spaces where you still want big flower power.
4'H x 4'H

Midnight Marvel Hibiscus
Hibiscus × hybrid
A striking hardy hibiscus with massive scarlet-red dinner-plate blooms set against dramatic near-black foliage for one of the boldest contrasts in the garden. Strong upright growth, excellent heat tolerance, and true perennial performance make it a standout for North Texas landscapes.
4–5'H x 4–5'W

Each has BIG flowers. REAL winter hardiness. And are actually adapted to Texas!
That’s the difference.

🌿 Speaker Highlig

🌿 Speaker Highlight: Patrick Dickinson 🌿

Some people hear “native landscape” and picture something wild, messy, weedy, or unfinished.

Plantwithpatrick is here to challenge that.

At Native Plant Celebration, Patrick will share how native plants can be used to create landscapes that feel intentional, polished, and beautifully designed—without sacrificing habitat, pollinator value, or ecological function.

This is the talk for homeowners who want beauty and purpose.

If you’ve been trying to figure out how to move beyond basic foundation plants and create a landscape that actually feels special, don’t miss this one.

🌿 9 Native Texan Shade Plants That Thrive in Shade Gardens

1. Lyreleaf Sage (Salvia lyrata)
A dependable Texas native groundcover that spreads vigorously in spots where nothing else wants to grow. It’s excellent for bald patches, muddy shaded areas, and those tough transition zones under trees where turf usually fails. Its soft blue-violet spring flower spikes provide nectar for native bees and other early pollinators while the foliage helps create a dense, living mulch.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Blackland Prairie, Post Oak Savannah, Pineywoods, and East Texas woodland edges.

2. Turk’s Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii)

One of the toughest native shade perennials you can grow in Texas, and one that handles deep shade beautifully. Most people know the classic red form, but it also comes in pink and white for a softer garden look. Its blooms provide constant nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees through the hottest parts of summer.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Post Oak Savannah, Pineywoods, Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, Edwards Plateau canyons, and Central Texas woodlands.

3. Columbine ‘Texas Gold’ (Aquilegia chrysantha var. hinckleyana)

Columbine brings cheerful yellow flowers to the garden when most shade beds are just waking up in spring. It performs beautifully in part shade and woodland settings while attracting hummingbirds and early pollinators. It adds softness, brightness, and early-season life to shaded spaces when nectar sources can be limited.
Native ecoregions: Trans-Pecos, Edwards Plateau canyons, and limestone woodland edges of West and Central Texas.

4. Coralberry (Symphoricarpos orbiculatus)

A native understory shrub that handles shade well and adds structure beneath trees. It has a soft, arching habit and behaves almost like a creeping shrub—if those branches touch the ground, they often re-root and slowly form a colony. Its berries provide an important late-season food source for birds, while the flowers also support native bees and other pollinators.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Blackland Prairie margins, Post Oak Savannah, and East Texas woodland edges.

5. Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum)

One of the best butterfly plants you can grow in shade, thriving in part sun down to nearly full shade. Its electric blue flowers create a strong late-season show and are a major nectar source for butterflies, especially queens and monarchs, along with native bees. It adds vibrant color and natural movement to woodland gardens and shaded borders.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Blackland Prairie, Post Oak Savannah, Pineywoods, Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, and moist woodland edges and creek systems of East Texas.

6. Cedar Sage (Salvia roemeriana)

A true Texas woodland native that feels right at home beneath trees and along shaded garden edges. Its bright red flowers provide an early nectar source for hummingbirds, butterflies, and spring pollinators. It brings bold seasonal color to places where many plants struggle to bloom.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Edwards Plateau, and limestone woodlands of North and Central Texas.

7. Heartleaf Skullcap (Scutellaria ovata)

A true native shade perennial that performs beautifully in woodland settings and can handle fairly deep shade. Its fuzzy gray-green foliage adds soft texture year-round, and it is semi-evergreen in mild winters with soft purple-blue flowers in spring and fall. It often goes dormant during the heat of summer, but returns looking great in cooler seasons while supporting native bees and small pollinators.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Post Oak Savannah, Pineywoods, East Texas woodlands, and shaded prairie edges.

8. Horseherb (Calyptocarpus vialis)

One of the best native living groundcovers for dry shade and deep shade beneath established trees. It creates a soft green carpet where grass often fails and helps fill difficult spaces naturally. Its small yellow flowers provide subtle nectar for pollinators, while the dense cover helps support healthier soil and habitat.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Blackland Prairie, Post Oak Savannah, Edwards Plateau, South Central Texas, and urban woodland edges statewide.

9. Inland Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium)

One of the best native ornamental grasses for shade, especially bright shade and woodland edges. Its arching seed heads catch light and movement, bringing texture and elegance to the garden, and it readily reseeds to form a soft natural groundcover over time. The seeds provide food for birds and small wildlife while the foliage creates excellent shelter and habitat.
Native ecoregions: Cross Timbers, Blackland Prairie creek corridors, Post Oak Savannah, Pineywoods, riparian corridors, shaded creek systems, and East Texas woodlands.
