Flowers & Ornamentals

We provide educational information on selecting, growing and caring for flowers and ornamentals through AgriLife Extension horticulturists, online materials, hands-on workshops and virtual seminars. Similarly, we conduct research at trial gardens across the state to identify and determine which varieties are best suited for each region.
