Texas Gardening: What are you still waiting on to come back?, 1 by sweezel

I forgot about the confederate jasmine. I lost mine that I planted last summer. Pulled it out over the weekend and replaced it with a climber similar to native honeysuckle that I got at the Heard Native Plant Sale last fall. It survived the winter in it's gallon pot wedged between the brick and a rain barrel, right under the dryer vent.

I have two "mountain sage" - Salvia regla & Salvia darcyi. Salvia darcyi survived amazingly, even with being transplanted in February. It's coming back with sprouts in a 3 foot diameter and continuing to take over (underground runners). It comes back from the roots. Carla, did I give you the Salvia darcyi? I know I've shared it. It's tough. I had no idea how much room it needed.

My Salvia regla is in bright shade against a north facing fence. I have had it in ground 3 years with no blooms or much growth. It keeps some woody growth but is just (2) foot long stems, but surprisingly, has leaf buds starting to open. I planted it at the back of the bed at the back but it's never shown off.

Allwild, my puppy is almost 5 months old. He's trying my patience lately. He keeps digging up the root area around my roses and completely dug up a David Austin that I put in last summer. He's half beagle, half jack Russell terrier and a mess.
