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. These selections include annuals, perennials, per-annuals (tropical perennials used as annuals), woody shrubs (includes roses), trees, and specialty plants. 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 to look for the official Texas Superstar® logo on the plant tags.
