This is why I love gardeners. When you compliment a plant in their garden, they always offer a free cutting.

Some bloomed during the worst of it. Others attracted hummingbirds and butterflies while everything around them looked worn out. Plant one, or plant all, and next summer your Texas yard will be a choice rather than a catastrophe.

Native ground covers that are suited for this climate not only survive August, but also look better than St. Augustine does. Lower inputs once established, and no more crossing your fingers every time a heat dome settles over Texas.
