I lived in New Braunfels and gardened there.....................my daughter and her family still live there.........it is a wonderful climate to grow in!!!! You get to have many perennials that we can't grow down here. My favorite nursery in New Braunfels.

I do question the 9b zone as it gets very cold in New Braunfels compared to south Texas where were in zone 9a. I would call New Braunfels ( especially the Canyon Lake are) to be either 8b or 8a?????

If you can indulge me for a couple of minutes, I would like to share with you pics of my daughter's yard last weekend and spring has just gotten there.
Canyon Daisy is a plant that was put in among the daylilies and others. It blooms its head off in that area....little bitty yellow flowers on a rounded shrub like plant.

My son in law is the gardener of the family.............don't know how he finds the time with 3 very active children in sports and a high pressured job, but he finds a way to make the yard always beautiful. This jasmine he planted on a trellis he made and it is located on the second tiered patio.
My favorite nurseries around your area are: Schutlz's nursery in Marion, 10 miles out of New Braunfels, Gardengate in Seguin and the Plant Haus in the heart of New Braunfels.

I am going to upload a few photos of what can be done in that area with so many beautiful readily accessible boulders and rock .....
