If you want low maintenance plants, this is your go-to list. We use the plants below heavily in our Landscaping designs, and we highly recommend them for Texas yards.

I love this page! I’m already getting inspired to create a great space in my backyard with a few of these drought tolerant plants. I think I will go with a Texas Persimmon, a Texas Redbud, Skyflower and some Black Foot Daisy. Can’t wait to get started!
Great selection of drought tolerant plants. Are all these plants native to the USA? I've not heard of many of them and was wondering whether there are similar varieties in Australia. I really like the look of the Firecracker Fern, as well as a few others. Red yucca also seems like a good option.
Had no idea there were so many options of plants that are drought tolerant! It’s amazing how much variety there is. I want to add some life to my parents’ garden and I’m considering adding some Purple Heart, Red Yucca and a Windmill Palm. Or I might just call you for help ;).
Help! I'm redoing the front & side beds of my home in north Texas. I believe February is the best time to put down a “weed & feed” over my whole lawn. I think I should wait until April to plant new trees, bushes, shrubs, etc? I need all the help I can get…like prepping the beds, choosing landscaping, …& any other tips. I’m looking for the easiest to maintain & cost effective way to accomplish this. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
