Native Plant Society of Texas

H-E-B Texas Native Plant Celebration


HEB

This spring, NPSOT is excited to continue our partnership with H-E-B on native plants offerings as H-E-B remains committed to help conserve and protect Our Texas, Our Future. H-E-B stores will be selling a colorful selection of quart-sized native plants.

Native Plant Society of Texas and Texas Master Gardeners volunteers will be tabling at select stores over the course of two weekends in March (see dates and locations below).

Stop by to learn about the new Wild Thumb app, ask your native plant questions, and take home a free packet of pocket prairie seeds* from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation.

Volunteers not located at your H-E-B? We still encourage you to look for native plants at your local H-E-B. Quantities and varieties vary by store.

*Free pocket prairie seed packets are available while supplies last

Visit these H-E-B stores to chat with Native Plant Society of Texas and Texas Master Gardener volunteers:

About the Region

Fall Symposium 2025 Logo - Teach for the Future

Salado, the location of our Fall 2025 Symposium, lies at the intersection of two ecoregions: the Edwards Plateau (Limestone Cut Plain) and Blackland Prairie (Northern Blackland Prairie).

The Edwards Plateau area is also called the Hill Country; however, this general term covers a much larger area extending farther north. Spring-fed creeks are found throughout the region; deep limestone canyons, rivers, and lakes (reservoirs) are common. Ashe juniper is perhaps the most common woody species found throughout the region. Additional woody species include various species of oak, with live oak (Quercus fusiformis) being the most common. Sycamores (Platanus occidentalis) and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) border waterways. This area is well known for its spring wildflower displays, though they may be viewed in spring, late summer, and fall, as well. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, average annual rainfall in the Edwards Plateau ranges from 15 to 34 inches.

The Blackland Prairie extends from the Red River south to San Antonio, bordered on the west by the Edwards Plateau and the Cross Timbers, and on the east by the Post Oak Savannah. Annual rainfall averages 30 to 40 inches, with higher averages to the east. This region is dominated by prairie species. The most common grass species include little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) in the uplands and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) in the riparian areas and drainages. Common herbaceous flowering plants include salvias, penstemons, and silphiums. This area has suffered greatly from overgrazing and agricultural use. Few intact areas remain, though many of the plants can be found along county roadsides throughout the region.

Our fall Symposium host chapter, the Tonkawa Chapter, includes both of these ecoregions.
