Summer is upon us and you know it when the lawns in San Antonio start to quickly go from green to brown.

Frogfruit will stay green during the drought with very little water because native plants have long roots. Long roots reach down deep into the ground to find water and can withstand drought. Non-native grasses like St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses, have shorter roots that need constant watering to stay alive.
The Frogfruit established throughout the Fall and winter. Because it’s native, it is also freeze tolerant. No need to cover it when it freezes. You just need to plant it once, and it will die back in the winter and come back with a vengeance in the spring. A low growing green native ground cover that produces flowers that stays green in the summer, is much more attractive and appealing than brown dirt patches that you aren’t allowed to water because of drought restrictions.
