Begonias are a desirable blooming plant for Texas landscapes because they tolerate sun and shade as well as temperature extremes. Many varieties are available, blooming in red, yellow, orange, white or pink. We highly recommend a mixed color flat. Begonias reach 12” in height and spread.

Pentas are a popular summer bloomer in Texas! They do require regular watering and are ideal for flowerbeds with good drainage and container planting. The shiny and deeply veined foliage is a beautiful backdrop for the constant display of star shaped tubular flowers appearing in clusters from late spring to fall. Available in many colors, pentas easily attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Pentas reach 12-15” in height and spread.

If you are looking for a specific flower or plant do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to provide other suggestions or availability on what you prefer.
