ajtgirl: Dolittle might she lives in Texas

ajtgirl: I believe Cotton is the best thing to grow in Texas lol! Oh and Peacon trees!

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?

ajtgirl:A ground cover that would surive is grevillia (sp)

skipinnz:

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.

skipinnz: ajtgirl, just noticed spelling could be "grevillia or grevillea" the one I'm talking about is spelt with an "e".

Thanks for the info
I'll look into it  skipinnz!

ajtgirl: I don't live in Texas but used to live in the central part. One ground cover that thrives there for me was yarrow!!

Dolittle: Whoopsie so much talk of Texas and all of ya going.I thought for some reason you lived there.
