Texas Gardening: Need Help From A Ft.Worth Texas Gardener, 1 by SteveIndy

Hi Deann,

No problem - glad to help! I have bought many things from Wayside and have had excellent luck with their products, so I trust their claims. They're my favorite online retailer for general shrubs/trees/perennials. Your sister lives VERY close to me - like within 5 miles. I am just southwest of Keller near 820 and 35W, in north Ft Worth.

My plants have already arrived. I ordered them on 3/29 and got them on 4/1, using the express delivery. I bought three bushes - the two I have linked and then another called "Miss Kim" that is also supposed to do well in warm climates. The Miss Kim was large and bareroot, and the other two arrived in containers as pictured. I didn't have room for all three I decided so I gave one away to a friend LOL. I hope your sister has good luck as well, and that she enjoys hers.

Witch - I'll keep you updated on how they do!!

TxMel, I agree about the old fashioned plants. At the risk of getting lynched here, I know many of the people on this thread are really into native Texan plants, but I just don't find them (gulp!) that attractive, so I'm determined to make a garden similar to one I would have had up north!!! So far, it's worked out well.
