The Dallas Arboretum "FlameProof"™ Award

The Dallas Arboretum Trial program tests over 3 thousand plant varieties each year searching for the best ones for our unique climate.  It takes a tough plant to handle our summers and do it looking good! When we do find a plant that can take the heat, it has to do it for at least 3 years before we give it our coved "FlameProof" award.

This award is reserved for those plants that can take the TEXAS heat! Only plants which not only survive, but thrive on our blistering, burning, blast furnace of a summer receive this award. If you're looking for a plant that will flourish in our hot tropical summers then look no further. These winners will look great in your garden from May right up until first frost.  We trust them so much that they are the backbone of the Dallas Arboretum's 66-acre summer display every year!
