My sister has just bought some property in Rockport, Texas near Corpus Christie She has lots of gardening questions that I cannot answer Does anyone here know the area well?
Mousetrap: You are correct I actually grew up in West Texas where they grew cotton, corn, sorghum, and cattle LOL
But southern Texas is very different. It's practically tropical and arid and I wonder if one can grow daffodils and tulips there at all without the dormant winter period.
Also, what type of ground covers thrive in that heat?
Why do you think grevillia would do well there? I believe it is part of the gypsophilia family (commonly known as baby's breath) Can it withstand extreme heat, high humidity and very little rain?
ajtgirl:Well it's native to Australia, and there are a lot of different varities and cultivars. It does extremelly well in high temp, poor soil & low rainfall areas.
