ELM: Selecting Plant Materials...
The state of Texas has a number of native plants that have been adapted for use in home and commercial landscapes. Many of these plants have good drought tolerance, and exhibit resistance characteristics to insects and diseases. When used appropriately, native Texas plants can assist in reducing landscape water consumption. Also, since these plants are a little tougher than most, they usually don't require the use of potentially harmful chemical pesticides. New native plant selections continued to be released, many of which are on display at the TAMU Horticultural Gardens.
