Vetiver plants for Texas
From East Texas pine country to the Hill Country and Rio Grande Valley, vetiver gives Texas landowners a heat- and drought-tolerant hedge that holds soil through extreme weather.

USDA zones 7a–10a. Vetiver thrives in Texas heat and tolerates the state's clay, caliche, and sand once established. USDA zones: 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a.
Shipping to Texas
Two- to three-day Priority shipping from Georgia. We ship year-round but recommend planting in spring or fall to avoid peak summer heat stress on new transplants.

Texas's combination of flash flooding, drought, and erodible soils makes vetiver one of the few hedges that earns its keep year after year. Major shipping destinations include Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and the Rio Grande Valley.
