Tips for Full Sun Plants in North Texas

Water New Plantings

Even sun-loving plants need regular watering during their first summer. Once established, most full sun plants are drought-tolerant.

Mulch Heavily

Apply 3 inches of mulch to keep roots cool and retain moisture during peak summer heat.

Plant in Spring or Fall

Avoid planting during peak summer. Spring and fall plantings give roots time to establish before extreme heat.
