Perennials for Texas

Barbara,

I'm not a Texan, but...

Your best bet is to join the National Wildflower Society, which is
headquartered in Texas. They have some great publications (maybe a web
site?). Follow their advice slavishly until (if!) you get better ideas from
gardeners who live around you. There is also a Texas nursery that
specializes in old roses. Most of them were found in ghost towns and
abandonned graveyards by a group of "rose rustlers" who brought them back
into cultivation. You know they don't need coddling. Resources are out
there for you. I'm sorry that I don't have the addresses on hand, but I
found the info in books in my local public library up north. I'll bet it's
in yours too.

Debby
