‘Convent’ has the darkest pink flowers of the cold-tolerant, drought-resistant, heat-loving plants known as Texas Rangers. If you’ve ever seen one in full bloom, you have a good idea of why these are some of the most popular plants in Southwestern residential and commercial landscapes.
Though the bell-shaped, fuchsia flowers will appear sporadically from spring through fall, the most stunning floral display is brought on by the high humidity of monsoon season, when ‘Convent’ is ablaze with a truly unique color that sets it apart from other Texas rangers available on the market.
This newer selection requires excellent drainage and stays slightly smaller than the species.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
