The first draft of our Fall 2023 online plant sale availability list with plant descriptions is now available. See our Fall 2023 plant sale page for sale details and the link to the list.

A couple of notes about this sale’s list:

 First, we have collected information from some of our members who are experienced in growing and observing our native plants on how well their plants have tolerated the heat and drought this summer with minimal or no irrigation.  Those plants that have done well or even thrived have earned our Wilco Xeric designation.  Those are noted with WX in the comments column. 

Second, you will see that a lot of the Height/Size/Notes columns are empty.  That’s because I have not clapped eyes on most of the plants in several weeks.  I am recovering from foot surgery, and I am still in the stump, drag, stump drag mode of perambulation.  I hope to have most of those spots filled in before the sale opens.  Be sure to check back for updated versions of the list.

Finally, if there is a specific plant you are seeking that is a Native Texas Plant and is not on the list, feel free to ask.  It’s been a tough summer to be a plant in a black pot, so most of what is available is on the list.  It helps us to know what folks are looking for.  If we can’t get it this time, maybe we can next spring. 

Happy hunting,
Beth Erwin
