Facilities

Imagine a place where nature and nurture live together. Appealing to both experienced collectors and the newly-smitten plant lover, Tejas Tropicals is home to the largest selection of cold hardy tropicals in North America, grown organically, on 20 acres of outdoor nurseries and indoor greenhouses.

You’ll feel welcome as the palm tree lined driveway greets your arrival. Take the curve gently; it leads past the greenhouses with the true tropicals. Mind the kangaroos and the wallabies.... don’t worry they’re in their pens.

Tejas Tropicals Facilities map

See the tropical plant area? There’s 1000s of feet of new, raised beds for healthier plants which grow fast so you can get them when you’re ready. Your eyes will love the open area around the pond and the water lilies in it. Hear the rustle of the bamboo? Catch the red, yellow or pink blooms, all bursting forth at different times in grand profusion so it’s an ever changing, always stunning view...

You’ll find it hard to pull away, until you discover it’s feeding time at the monkey cages. Oh, the mischief they have in mind! Were you meeting someone from your botanical club, or plant society for a special lecture?
Go ahead; they’re most likely already gathering at the Pavilion.

Ready to go? Your order’s been expertly packed with care at the warehouse. It’s that great big barn where we ship small to tall plants all over North America. Wave, if you dare, to the geese, and hope they don’t chase you out. The Black-necked Swans are far too stately to offer you anything but the most elegant farewell. Do come again.

Just north of Houston, our master horticulturists grow your favorites directly on the property using ecologically sound practices. Visitors discover hardy palms, bamboo, cycads, heliconias, gingers, colocasias, agaves, yuccas and rare and hard to find bananas to match your specific interests in exotic gardening.

All stock is home grown and carefully nurtured from its original source. Plants are tested for adaptability and are proven to be successful before being sold and shipped to your own new garden destination. Tejas Tropicals provides plants suitable for indoor and for outdoor locations found in the Zone 7-11 geographic area.
