June in a Texas native garden
June is one of Texas's busiest bloom months, with 143 of the state's 249 native plants flowering (the peak is May).
26 start blooming in June, including American century plant, Black-eyed Susan and Blue vervain. 50 finish in June, including American bittersweet, American holly and American strawberry bush, so this is the last chance to see them in flower.
111 of them grow in full or partial sun and 58 tolerate shade, so there are options for open beds and woodland edges alike. Sizes run from low plants like Antelope-horns milkweed and Birdfoot violet to trees such as American basswood and American bittersweet. For wildlife, 124 support pollinators, 82 provide food or cover for birds and 52 are caterpillar host plants.
112 of the 143 have a seed or plant listing we verified as the wild species. Be careful buying American wisteria, Apache plume, Autumn sage: common listings for these are often a bred variety or a different species.
Good places to start
Verified wild-species listings that take sun and are widely native, so they are forgiving first plants.
