Looking for heat tolerant plants for your landscape?  Beat the summer heat in Austin and Central Texas with these tough, drought-tolerant plants that thrive in full sun and part shade while attracting local pollinators and wildlife:

• American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana): A Texas native understory plant featuring vibrant purple berries that birds and wildlife love.

• Gregg’s mistflower (Conoclinium greggii): A low mounding, spreading habit perennial that has blue pin-cushion blooms. A fantastic deer-resistant Texas native plant that handles full sun and acts as a massive magnet for butterflies.  *Note:  Deer resistant is not deer proof.*

• Echinacea / Coneflower (Echinacea): A classic, heat-tolerant favorite available in pink and white that bumblebees and pollinators adore.
