New homeowners relocating to San Antonio will have a new landscaping experience. They will be falling for color San Antonio style.
Some of the important things to note about your new hometown: Humidity and hot temperatures are facts of life, but it does cool down eventually. Still, San Antonio does present unique opportunities for gardening, so it helps to know what to plant for a beautiful landscape that doesn’t cost a fortune to maintain.
- For new residents from the Northeast who crave good fall color, there’s Bigtooth maple, crape myrtle and sumac, as well as pansies, petunias and geraniums.
- If you’re a transplant from the southwest U.S. or northern Mexico, you can grow most of the plants you’re familiar with, and very likely with less irrigation.
- And for our new residents from interior Mexico, your native plants like bougainvillea and poinsettia will fare well here albeit with special care.
