Wintercreeper versus Asian jasmine after winterAs Lynn and I left an appointment last week I saw this side-by-side comparison of Texas' two best full-sun groundcovers. I thought this might be a good time to tell you why I really prefer one over the other. Photo: April photo of purple wintercreeper euonymus on left and Asian jasmine on right. |

One of the best of the bulbsAll the great old-time gardeners grew them. And their St. Joseph's lilies are still going strong decades later. You'll find them around abandoned homesites, but you won't find them in nurseries. So I'll need to tell you about them. Photo: Sometimes referred to as "hardy Amaryllis," St. Joseph's lilies have been in bloom across Texas the past week or two. |
