The Earth-Kind® Plant Selector allows one to find plants well-suited for specific regions of the state of Texas. Individuals can find their region by searching via zip code or search for plants by specific characteristics.
The Earth–Kind® Plant Selector does NOT provide information concerning the potential invasiveness of landscape plants, though plants with a high Earth–Kind® index value will generally be more "aggressive" in their growth habit than plants with a lower value.
