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 A&M Agrilife Extension’s Master Gardener Program (TMG) 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, while supplies last, 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. You can also check out more plant sales by NPSOT local chapters and other organizations here.

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

About the Region

2026 Fall Symposium Logo

This low-elevations region of Texas extends inland from the barrier islands, about 60 or so miles, and stretches from Brownsville to Louisiana. In total, it covers about 9.5 million acres, with a high point of 150 feet in elevation. More than 1000 species of plants can be found in this region. On the southern end, species more common in Mexico (such as Sabal mexicana) and Central America occur.

The barrier islands provide us with dune systems, and clay flats to the inland side, which have species found in these areas alone. Many plants here, such as Ipomoea pes-caprae (beach morning glory), can be found throughout tropical regions of the globe. I’ve encountered the same species on the beaches of Guam.

Once inland, vast marshes and wet prairies occur. Occasionally, oak (Quercus fusiformis) groves can be found. Common grasses include species of Bothriochloa, Paspalum, and Sporobolus; eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides); and switchgrass (Panicum species). Many rivers and creeks cut through the Gulf Prairies, and along these riparian areas various species of trees, Sabal minor, and other plants adapted to clay soils can be found. Due to overgrazing, farming, and fire suppression, woody species such as mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) and huisache (Acacia farnesiana), and invasive species such as chinaberry (Melia azedarach), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), and Chinese tallow (Sapium sebiferum) have increased and displaced our native flora.
