Native Texas Perennials: True Natives vs Native Cultivars | Let’s Grow TogetherDrip Irrigation

In this episode of Let’s Grow Together, we explore the colorful world of Texas native perennials and the important differences between true Texas natives and native cultivars. Through three unique perspectives, we discuss how these plants perform in North Texas landscapes, what makes a plant a “true native,” and when cultivated varieties may be the right fit for homeowners and pollinators alike. Featured plants include Autumn Sage, Purple Coneflower, Blackfoot Daisy, Gregg’s Blue Mistflower, Four-Nerve Daisy, Silver Falls Dichondra, Texas Primrose, Fall Aster, and Black-Eyed Susan. Whether you're building a pollinator garden, reducing water usage, or simply creating a more natural Texas landscape, this episode offers practical insight into choosing plants that thrive while supporting local ecosystems. Special thanks to Covington's Nursery for helping educate and inspire Texas gardeners through locally adapted plants and landscape expertise.
