It's recognized as a Texas Superstar® for its remarkable resilience to heat, drought, and humidity, making it a beloved choice for Texas native plant gardens. This charming plant thrives best when nestled in the back of flower beds, reaching a height and width of three feet. If you give it a little trim in mid-summer, you’ll see it flourish with even more flowers in the fall. It’s a tough plant, hardy up to Zone 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis salvia loves well-drained soil and basking in full sunlight, becoming wonderfully drought-tolerant once it’s established. Just remember to give it regular watering until it's settled in, and during the hot summer days, it would appreciate a drink once a week, especially if rainfall is less than an inch. While it’s low maintenance, taking a moment to deadhead spent blooms can encourage even more flowers to bloom. If your soil is already rich, you can choose whether or not to use a general fertilizer in spring and summer to boost flower production. Keeping around two inches of mulch will also do wonders. After the first frost, cut it back right to the ground and add some mulch for winter protection. The beautiful part is that once established, this plant will reseed itself, and you can easily transplant the seedlings to other spots in your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Henry Duelberg Salvia has an interesting discovery story too.

Many gardeners especially admire this grass for its bronze-orange foliage color in the fall, making it a true seasonal highlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Little Bluestem native range Texas\" href=\"https:\/\/bonap.net\/MapGallery\/County\/Schizachyrium%20scoparium.png\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eBONAP MAP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 2’-4'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpread: 1.5’-2'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBloom: August-February \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLight: Full Sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWater: Low-Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eZone: 3-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOrigin: Texas \u0026amp; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEastern North America \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Native Gardeners","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":40693923446949,"sku":"GR-4000","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":40693923479717,"sku":"GR-4001","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Gallon","offer_id":40693923512485,"sku":"GR-4002","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0467\/3113\/3093\/products\/LittleBluestem3.png?v=1731305884"},{"product_id":"muhly-big","title":"Big Muhly","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMuhlenbergia lindheimeri\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCommon Names include Big Muhly, Lindheimer's Muhly, Blue Muhly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eBig Muhly is a 2-5 ft. tall perennial bunchgrass with delicate foliage and a fountain-like form.

This warm-season grass grows in lovely clumps and usually reaches about 3 feet in height. When flowering, it showcases delicate, pink-tinged flower panicles that can elevate the plant's height to 6 feet. In autumn, the medium green leaves bring some warmth to the landscape as they transition to vibrant yellow with hints of orange, eventually fading to a soft tan-beige in winter. As the seeds mature in the fall, the panicles turn a gentle beige, and those seed plumes stick around into winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitchgrass thrives in medium to wet soils and loves basking in full sun to part shade. While it can adapt to various soil types, including drier ones, it truly prefers moist, sandy, or clay soils. It's resilient enough to handle occasional flooding but might lean a bit in overly rich soils. This grass performs best in full sun. Mainly it grows in clumps, but will also gently spread through its slow, creeping rhizomes. For upkeep, it's best to cut these clumps back to the ground in late winter to early spring.

After the flowers fade, cutting the foliage back to about 6 inches can help promote fresh new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 2’-3’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpread 1’-2’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBloom: June-October \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLight: Full Sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWater: Low-Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eZone: 5-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOrigin: North America \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Native Gardeners","offers":[{"title":"4 Inch","offer_id":42429863493872,"sku":"P-100003","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":43910270550256,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0467\/3113\/3093\/products\/CherokeeSunset2.png?v=1731306422"},{"product_id":"eastern-bluestar","title":"Eastern Bluestar","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wildflower.org\/plants\/result.php?id_plant=AMTA2\" title=\"Amsonia tabernaemontana wildflower.org\"\u003eAmsonia tabernaemontana\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tax\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEastern Bluestar, Blue Dogbane, Willow Amsonia, Woodland Bluestar\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluestar is a charming herbaceous perennial plant that brings a touch of beauty to wet, sandy, open, and rocky woods and thickets.

It thrives beautifully in the dry, rocky open woods, meadows, prairies, fields, and roadsides across the state. This charming plant typically grows in a delightful clump ranging from 1 to 2.5 feet tall and showcases clusters (umbels) of bright, cheerful orange to yellow-orange flowers perched atop hairy stems with narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Unlike many milkweeds, this lovely species doesn't have milky-sapped stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eThe vibrant butterfly weed flowers transition into spindle-shaped seed pods, measuring 3 to 6 inches long, which split open when ripe, releasing a multitude of silky-tailed seeds that dance through the wind. The seed pods are a favorite in dried flower arrangements, and this plant has a wonderfully long bloom period, spanning from late spring to summer. The flowers are a delightful source of nectar for many butterflies, while the leaves serve as a nutritious food source for monarch butterfly larvae (caterpillars). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eButterfly weed is a breeze to grow in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils under full sun. It's drought-tolerant and thrives even in poorer, dry soils. You'll often see new growth emerging late in the spring, and these plants can be quickly cultivated from seeds. However, be patient; they may take 2 to 3 years to bloom. If seed pods aren’t removed before they burst open, mature plants can happily self-seed throughout the landscape. Butterfly weed doesn’t transplant well due to its deep taproot, so it’s best to let it settle in once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bonap.net\/MapGallery\/County\/Asclepias%20tuberosa.png\" title=\"Butterfly Weed native range texas\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBONAP MAP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeight: 1’-2'\u003cbr\u003eSpread: 1’-1.5'\u003cbr\u003eBloom: June-September\u003cbr\u003eLight: Full Sun-Part Shade\u003cbr\u003eWater: Low-Medium\u003cbr\u003eZone: 3-9\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Texas, U.S. and eastern Canada\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Native Gardeners","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":42830991655152,"sku":"P-100010","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5\"","offer_id":44261784551664,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":44223441240304,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0467\/3113\/3093\/products\/Milkweed.png?v=1731306492"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0467\/3113\/3093\/collections\/Website_Photo_Template_9.png?v=1706381466","url":"https:\/\/nativegardeners.com\/collections\/native-prairie.oembed?page=16","provider":"Native Gardeners","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
