<< Thanks, Lillian, but what I was seeking is a list of perennials that will 
 thrive in my Texas conditions.  I've got several good catalog seed 
 suppliers that have been very reliable in the past, but I don't want to 
 order, go to the trouble of raising the plants for next spring, and find 
 nothing will survive here.  I just moved down here a year ago from 
 east-central Oregon where the climate is very different.  This past 
 summer was a trial for plants, animals, and people.
 
 I thought there might be someone on the list from around here that 
 could give me a good lead.

Barbara,
You might try to find books written specifically for southern gardeners.  I
live in hot zone 8B, south Louisiana, and have found, through much trial and
error, that plants even listed as surviving in zone 8 do not make it here.
Obviously, they were referring to cool zone 8.  I subscribe to a list for
Louisiana gardeners, but there are others on the list, one from Florida, and
one or maybe two from Mississippi.  It is a small list, but we discuss the
things which will live in this hot climate.  It is a restricted list, but you
probably could subscribe.  Go to onelist.com and search under gardening, and
you should find a list called Lags.  Hope this helps.
