Sorry...It's the landscape I'm talking about. Robert changed a bunch when he bought this house, and now it's time to install the landscape. It's in the Hill Country, on a golf course, but there are more deer than golfers. Anyway, here are some basic staples for landscapes up here.
-Pink Abelia (aka Edward Goucher Abelia) has small pink flowers in the summer and it's easy to maintain.
-Yew Podocarpus likes it up here.
-Sandankwa Viburnum does great in landscape up here because deer don't eat it.
-Burgundy Blast Loropetalum has burgundy leaves and hot pink flowers in early spring.
-Variegated Japanese Sedge-colorful and low growing.
-Purple Trailing Lantana will bloom until Christmas.
-Goldsturm Daisy gets better every year.
-Blue Plumbago blooms all the time.
-Bush Germander- silver foliage and small blue flowers in early spring.
-Purple Skullcap is evergreen and blooms a lot too
-Lambs Ear is as soft as a lambs ear.
-Tuscan Blue Rosemary is something deer never have for dinner.
-Bicolor Iris love hot weather.
-Pride of Barbados also likes it hot.
-Prostrate Rosemary will stay low and green all the time.
-Four Nerve Daisy will bloom 12 months out of the year.
-Blackfoot Daisy is a Hill Country Native.
-And another Lantana...New Gold. It's a good one.
-Pride of Houston Yaupon Holly puts on red berries that the birds like.
-And if you like your landscape manicured, Pride of Houston takes shearing very well like this one in the middle picture.
-Need a show stopper. This is a Basham's Party Pink Crapemyrtle. It's the biggest I've ever seen,..and when it blooms the flower heads are huge too.
And speaking of Crapemyrtle, here we have
-Black Diamond
-Natchez
-And Potomac showing off it's fall color.
Well, folks, that's about it for now. Let me know if you need any help with your landscape.
