It isn’t easy to become a Texas Superstar® plant. Only the toughest, most reliable and best-looking plants make the cut. Every plant earning the Texas Superstar® designation undergoes several years of extensive field trials by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, both part of the Texas A&M System. They must be shown to be super-performing plants under Texas growing conditions. During the field trials, plants receive minimal soil preparation, reasonable levels of water and no pesticides. What does that mean to the average homeowner? It means landscape success with beautiful, proven, Texas-tough plants. Find these plants at your local nursery and be sure and look for the Texas Superstar® logo on the plant tags. Visit TexasSuperstar.com for additional details about these amazing stars.
