Abstract: A new and distinct Asclepias linaria plant named ‘Monarch Magnet 2.0’ is characterized by denser and fuller plant form and greater resistance of sudden death from damping-off than is typical for the species.

Abstract: A new and distinct Asclepias subulata named ‘Butterfly Magic’ is characterized by uniform growth habit and plant form, Slightly thicker stems than typical for the species, improved growth and survival in cultivation, greater stem numerical density, faster growth with ultimately increased plant size and improved cold hardiness and survivability

Abstract: A new and distinct Chilopsis linearis tree named Sweet Bubba is characterized by an upright form, fast growth, dark green leaves and having flowers with crisped corollas with a distinctive red/purple color (70A, R.H.S. color chart) and blooming throughout the warm season (locally May-October). No seed production has been noted, beneficial for more flowering and less trash in the landscape.

Abstract: A new and distinct Ericameria laricifolia plant named Butterbloom is characterized by compact habit, even growth and excellent tolerance to pruning.

Abstract: Compact, upright, bush form, red flower clusters, and lack of seed production characterize a new and distinct Tecoma hybrid named ‘Red Hot’. Tecoma hybrid ‘Red Hot’ blooms throughout the warm season (average daytime highs exceeding 70° F.).

Abstract: A new and distinct Fraxinus greggii tree named ‘Libby Davidson’ is characterized by unusually large, dark green leaves, improved growth rate, improved cold hardiness and is more evergreen than other available Gregg ash.

Abstract: A new and distinct Leucophyllum frutescens plant named ‘San Antonio Rose’ is characterized as a rounded shrub with very large, slightly fragrant, pink flowers, silver/gray leaves and very strong resistance to damping off diseases.

Abstract: A new and distinct Dodonaea viscosa plant named Emerald Ice is characterized by a broad, dense growth form, bright green oblanceolate leaves, no pollen production and freeze hardiness estimated to around 10° F.

Abstract: A new and distinct Chilopsis linearis tree named ‘Bubba Jones’ is characterized by a naturally multitrunked, rounded, relatively open form, fast growth, dark green leaves and large, pleasantly fragrant flowers with crisped, ruffled corollas with a distinctively bicolored corolla (75A over 72A, 285 R.H.S. Color Chart), blooming throughout the warm season (locally May-October). ‘Bubba Jones’ can also be used as a rounded, single trunked tree with proper pruning. Low seed production has been noted, beneficial for more flowering and less trash in the landscape.

Abstract: A new and distinct Hesperaloe parviflora named ‘Stop Lights’ is characterized by a plant size smaller and with lower growth vigor than is typical for Hesperaloe parviflora, brighter, more broadly opening red flowers than is typical for the species, a long bloom period without the production of fruits or seeds, producing bulbils on the spent inflorescences.

Abstract: A new and distinct Sphaeralcea ambigua named ‘Orange Crush’ is characterized by bright orange flowers that appear most heavily in winter to spring and with some flowers produced almost throughout the year. The plant has a dense appearance because of a high number of stems produced from a basal crown. The plant is about twice as wide as it is tall (1.3? tall×2.5? wide).

Abstract: A new and distinct Asclepias subulata named ‘Butterfly Magic’ is characterized by uniform growth habit and plant form, Slightly thicker stems than typical for the species, improved growth and survival in cultivation, greater stem numerical density, faster growth with ultimately increased plant size and improved cold hardiness and survivability.

Abstract: A new and distinct Hesperaloe hybrid named ‘Little Giant’ is characterized by moderate size, large pink/cream flowers, 6.5-7.5 ft long spicate racemes, heavy nectar production and excellent growth in both the nursery and in the ground.

Abstract: A new and distinct Leucophyllum frutescens X laevigatum plant named ‘Purple Rain’ is characterized by its broad, dense growth form, pleasantly fragrant lavender flowers, dark green leaves, fast growth and superior resistance to damping off diseases both in the nursery and in the landscape.

Abstract: A new and distinct Leucophyllum frutescens X candidum hybrid plant named ‘Microburst’ is characterized by a dwarf, rounded, dense growth form; purple, fragrant flowers; as well as the strongest resistance to root rotting diseases known within the genus Leucophyllum.

Abstract: A new and distinct Asclepias linaria plant named ‘Monarch Magnet 2.0’ is characterized by denser and fuller plant form and greater resistance of sudden death from damping-off than is typical for the species.
