Shrubs and fillers for desert yards

Bougainvillea
Big, bright color on walls, fences, and trellises. Loves heat; frost can nip it back, but it usually regrows.
Lantana
Long-blooming clusters of color for borders, slopes, and mass plantings.
Texas Ranger (Sage)
Silver foliage and purple blooms with very little water. Looks best when not over-sheared.
Hop Bush
A fast, tough, desert-adapted shrub for low-water screens and backgrounds.
Ornamental Grasses
Movement and texture that soften hardscape and gravel.
Groundcovers
Spreading plants to fill beds, cover slopes, and help control dust.
Shrub tips for the low desert
- Plant in fall for the easiest establishment. See when to plant.
- Group by water need so drip zones don’t overwater your toughest plants.
- Prune lightly. Natural shapes bloom more and use less water.
- Check mature size so shrubs don’t swallow walkways.
Mass plantings, one order
Need hundreds of 5-gallon shrubs for a commercial job or HOA refresh? We’ll match varieties and sizes and deliver to your site.
