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.
