A stunning flower that thrives all over the arid Hill Country is The Pride of Barbados. The beautiful flowers thrive and bloom in alkaline to acidic, well-drained soils and bloom best in full sun. Once this plant is established, it is considered drought tolerant which is why is an ever popular, vibrant bloom.
A great place to view these beautiful blooms, the vivid colors of the Hill Country, and more is the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The center features an expansive botanical garden showcasing these brilliant flowers and more.
