Texas Superstars

Texas gardeners need plants that tolerate extremes. Searing summer heat. Drought. And as we’ve recently been reminded, summers that can alter the landscape. Thanks to research led by Texas A&M University researchers and extension horticulturists, we have great options. For 21 years, they’ve tested plants in search of top performers — types that tolerate our extremes with minimal soil preparation and watering and no pesticides. They’ve deemed more than 50 plants — including trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and vegetables — Texas Superstars.

Introducing the Texas Superstars. This brief video describes the Texas A&M Agrilife Texas Superstars program and details the features of the plants and how they were selected. A combination of beauty and environmental tolerance makes the Texas Superstars winners for your garden!
