The final draft of what we will have at the in-person native plant sale Saturday morning has been added to our page Fall 2025 Native Plant Sale.

The biggest changes are in the tree section involving items that sold out in the online sale.  If what you desperately wanted is not there, please ask at wilco-chapter@npsot.org.

Old Man’s Beard, Clematis drummondii, will not be available.

Torrey’s Yucca, Yucca torreyi, is not coming, but some very nice Plains Yucca, Yucca campestris, are coming instead.

The online store link has been added to our page Fall 2025 Native Plant Sale. That’s where you’ll find all the info about the online and in-person sales.

Reminder:

– The online sale is September 29 at noon to October 1 at noon. Pick up your purchases at the in-person sale on Oct 11.

– The in-person sale is October 11, 11am-2pm, at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, Boulder East & West Pavilions (near the Quarry Splash Pad) 3005 County Road 175  Leander, TX 78641.

We have a good news/bad news scenario here with our updated plant availability list for the in-person sale on Oct 11, 2025.  The bad news, as predicted in our first plant list draft, prices have gone up. There have been quite a few changes since the list was first published in July.  Some species did not survive the summer, and you will be disappointed if the plant you were craving is no longer available.

The good news is, we have a huge variety of plants and many “first timers” in our sale.  We are excited to offer 8 species/varieties of Texas native cacti.  One of them is a Williamson County Native Plant Rescue plant grown from seeds collected in front of the bulldozers right here in our county.  All of the cacti are offered in 4-inch pots for $5 each. Several of them are small species, ideal for container cactus gardens.

For those of you interested in native grasses, we have more species offered than ever before. Hard to beat those grasses for drought tolerant, deer resistant plants.

==> See our page Fall 2025 Native Plant Sale for the updated in-person sale list, the online sale list, and all the details for both sales.

The in-person sale list will get an important update after the online sale is over.  Plants that sell out online will be noted, so be sure to check back for that.
