Thanks for stopping by! I’m open to some suggestions for replacement plants. Let me know what you think!
On the Guara. They love moisture & you have to trim off the finished blooms to flush out again. They are one of my fav perineal.
So beautiful! Over here, between the heat, the deer and squirrels, I've been having a hard time lol I enjoyed your flowerbeds.
One thing, I had "heavenly bamboo" , Nandina, for years and the berries looked beautiful, and never created a problem with them since they are such slow growers. The one that gave me trouble was the red-bud and the seedpods, I ended up with 300 baby trees under it lol
Uhh baby, that desert willow looks amazing, your whole garden does! Great job Nat!!
The Japanese Yews die back, the evergreen is not dying, so keep them.
So happy to find you on YT. I am in Bell County. I am a plant addict as well.
Where are you located? I am northwest of Temple in the rocky clay soil. Ughhhh not the best for gardening. Natives are my best friends!
nice sharing
I am wondering if some of those plants might have spider mites? Love the Desert Willow and the Texas Star. I definitely want to try some of those evergreens.
The nandina are not only invasive but also the fruit is bad for our birds. Glad you’re getting reed of them. Autumn safe would be great, also white mistflower the amount of pollinators that attract is amazing.Thank you for sharing your garden.
I love desert willow! Have you looked into Chitalpas? They're a hybrid of desert willows and northern catalpa. Also drought tolerant.
🤗Love your succulent garden.
🎉 Beautiful Garden
I replaced my yews with native wax myrtles this year. They are doing great! (There are dwarf varieties as well as the large ones.)
Ideas for nandina replacements might be Walter’s viburnum or dwarf Barbados cherry. Both native evergreens! I put both in my front bed last fall and they have done great.
That desert willow is amazing!
Thanks for the great tour!!
