NATIVE PLANTS – THEY’RE TEXAS TOUGH Native plants are drought-tolerant and thrive in the Texas heat. They add diversity to your landscape and attract butterflies and songbirds. JUST ADD MULCH Apply a 2-to-4-inch layer of organic mulch to your landscape (flower beds, shrubs, vegetable gardens). Mulch reduces surface evaporation, prolongs soil moisture, cools the soil and moderates the temperature of the plant’s root zone.
TALLER GRASS, DEEPER ROOTS Taller grass holds moisture better and slows down evaporation. The higher the grass is cut, the deeper the roots grow. A mowing height of 3 inches will keep moisture in, cools the soil and defends against weeds.
