Disclaimers and Such
Below you will find most of my commonly used plants for the N. Austin, Cedar Park, Leander Area, along with notes based upon my experience. Most contractors, myself included, will not warranty plants. There is good reason for this, mainly being, we are not able to care for them ourselves, and even when we do it’s never a 100% success rate. Many factors can contribute to plant decline/death, including but not limited to watering, pets, pests, weather, acts of god, etc. We have yet to find an indestructible plant, so please keep that in mind when working in your own yards.
These notes are suggestions based upon my experience living and working with these specimens in my area. Please feel free to do accompanying research on plant care. A few of my favorite resources for plant information are listed at the bottom of this page.
Plant Type: Perennial
Mature Size: 1-3’ tall /1-5’ wide
Toxicity: toxic to people/pets
Maintenance: Low. Best grown in full sun/light shade. Prune in Spring to control spreading
Freeze: While these are listed as hardy in lower temperatures, Texas freezes have taught us that the foiliage will turn brown after/during a freeze event. Give the roots a good soak prior and prune back to a few inches off the ground after the last frost of the season.
