Texas actually has an extremely varied range of ecosystems. As a result, there are more Texas native plants than any other US state, except one...California. Texas can be divided into 9 eco-regions that consist of deserts, brush lands, high plateaus, hills, plains, savannahs, prairies, marshes and forests at widely different altitudes and with widely varying weather patterns and soil types. Texas native plants are as wide-ranging and varied as the climate, with plenty of succulents, wildflowers, ornamental grasses, and drought-tolerant plants. Texas has a reputation for being dry and dusty, which is true for West Texas, but there are also regions of Texas receiving more than 60 inches of annual rain! With all of this variety, it is no surprise that there are so many Texas native plants.

Adorning the deer-resistant woody stems and small, narrow, evergreen leaves are masses of hummingbird-attracting white flowers produced continuously from late spring into fall, except for a floral slow-down in the hottest part of midsummer.

They bloom for about six months but are not self-cleaning and the spent flower stalks are retained until a tidy minded gardener comes along and trims them off. The peak time to do this is late winter. At this time the shrubs are cut back by a half to two thirds to remove the dead tops of the plant. This does not require precision. It is a method meant to allow quick clean up of these woody salvias. Of course, any totally dead stems should also be removed. The health of the plant will not be compromised if it is not cleaned up but one will be viewing the current year's flowers amongst last year's dead flower stalks. This is the only routine maintenance that these salvias need.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe selections of Salvia greggii, Salvia microphylla and Salvia x jamensis vary in their vigor.

Lady in Red fern thrives in both clay and sandy soil, although a humus-rich soil is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eNomenclature:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSome taxonomist have now elevated Athyrium angustum to species status, compared to its previous status as a subspecies of Athyrium filix-femina.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Impact:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBecause ferns don't flower, they aren't a draw for pollinators.
