Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Title: Source for Lenophyllum texanum (coastal stonecrop)
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:
Hi, Where can you purchase native coastal stonecrop or texas sedum; preferably out in East Texas? Thank you!ANSWER:
Mr. Smarty Plants assumes you are talking about Lenophyllum texanum (coastal stonecrop). A synonym for this plant is Sedum texanum. You can search in our National Suppliers Directory for nurseries specializing in native plants in your area who might carry this plant. Also, the Houston Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT) has a page of "Sources of Native Plants in the Houston Area". Or—you could do a Google search on the scientific name and find that YuccaDo Nursery in Hempstead, Texas lists it for sale.More Seed and Plant Sources Questions
