Spring in Texas brings out some of the most vibrant colors in nature, and using native plants is one of the best ways to create a landscape that thrives. These plants are built for the climate, support local wildlife, and deliver standout blooms year after year.
Here are five native Texas plants that bring serious color and impact to your spring landscaping:
Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis)
The state flower of Texas. These wildflowers cover fields in a sea of blue and thrive in full sun with well-drained soil.
Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja indivisa)
Known for its fiery red-orange blooms, this wildflower pairs beautifully with bluebonnets and attracts pollinators.
Mexican Honeysuckle (Justicia spicigera)
This low-maintenance shrub blooms from spring through fall and draws hummingbirds with its bright orange flowers.
Texas Redbud (Cercis canadensis var. texensis)
An early bloomer with pink to purple flowers that pop before its leaves emerge. It’s a great ornamental tree for added height and color.
Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens)
A native vine that brings elegance to fences and trellises with coral-colored, tubular flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Planting native means less maintenance, more resilience, and a landscape that feels truly connected to Texas. If you’re planning a seasonal refresh, Premier Lawnscapes can help bring your outdoor vision to life with custom design and expert care.
