- I have had several plants die during our summer drought. In this video I will be discussing what I replaced them with. I did use flame acanthus, Texas sage, autumn sage, blackfoot daisy, Mexican oregano, and pink skullcap.
In most cases, I did amend my soil using expanded shale.
Looking great!
Ooo, I’d forgotten about Mexican oregano! I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for some here in Houston!
Thanks Jo! Unfortunately I’ve got quite a few things still to replace. Most, if not all of my plant casualties were not native(or well adapted to our area). I’m learning…the hard way😜
I put in two Green Cloud Texas Sage plants last year and they are gorgeous now. Just important not to overwater them.
That’s good news. How often did you water your green clouds when you put them in?
Great video! This summer was something else.... And having hungry deer didn't help one bit over here. Yur plants blooming looks beautiful, and the new ones will be nice too, next year.
I'm figuring out on my corner, what made it through all the obstacles as well 😋
Thanks girl! You live and learn, right? I’m a novice gardener but an expert in learning the hard way😝
Nice job!! I need to get to work on my front planting areas. SO. many. weeds. Still trying to get the back yard back in shape, but it's getting there. Looking forward to rain this week!!
My back fence line is a whole other story Jean! Still lots of work to do. 😊
@@theplantninja-texasgardener good thing we like to work in the yard. lol.
I just planted my flame Acanthus but now I need to move them. 🥵
I just read yesterday they are woody and big. So I need a better spot.
I have done that same thing so many times! Grateful for the forgiving temps so hopefully my transplants survive as well!
My Blackfoot Daisies really stressed and I lost couple of them to the summer heat. We got some rain and now blooming. I lost them before but because I love them will keep getting them 🙈 I have clay soil. So drainage isn't best.
I hope the expanded shale makes a difference in helping their root system hold up better in our rainy spring/fall…maybe it’ll make the difference in the summer. 🤞
I’m from your neck of the woods. May I ask where you buy your plants?
Hey neighbor! I get most of my plants from Grizzly’s in Nolanville. When they don’t have what I’m looking for then I go to the following nurseries in Austin: Barton Springs Nursery, The Natural Gardener, or Shoal Creek Nursery.
@@theplantninja-texasgardenerthank you for sharing!
Where did you get the exanded shale?
I got mine from the Natural Gardener nursery in Austin but many mom and pop nurseries in Texas carry it. I didn’t have any luck at the big box stores.
