Help!! Need list for Zone 9 gardening plan!?
Can someone provide me with a thorough list of flowering plants and some plants with nice foliage that are hardy to Zone 9 (Texas)?
I have a bare lot that would look great with some more color.
When we moved in, there was already a Pomegranate tree that shows pretty red ruffly flowers spring and summer. Also, there’s a plain but attractive weed-turned-2 story tree, too big or expensive to chop down and start over. I also now have established gorgeous purple-blue Morning Glory vines. The dirt is mostly dry, sandy, with clay in it, and the entire area is engulfed in full, hot Texas sun, with some partial sun-shady areas near the fences and under trees.
Also, if anyone can tell me what fertilizer to use for these plants, and how often I should fertilize, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
Thank you for all the help you can give me this spring!!!!
Typically in our area we need to add lots of compost to that sandy soil. Helps to hold it together and provides the fertilizer for stuff to grow. You can look at Neil Sperry’s Texas Gardening information or Howard Garrett (the dirt doctor) information to get lists of plants that like our Texas habitats. Both of those guys focus on Texas and have lists of flowers, shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials, biennials, vegetables and everything especially suited to Texas.
