I like the idea of another Lilac Vitex, I think we have another one in a pot too. And evergreen perennials is a good idea so it's not all dead in the Winter.

That will definitely have to wait until cooler weather. August is our month to do the least amount possible when it comes to outside, ha. <br /><br />Colleen thanks for the info on the seeds. I didn't know that about wildflowers. I think when I've attempt seeds before it was in the Spring. Didn't realize I could/should do it in the Fall.

Maybe a crepe myrtle and/or Texas Lilac Vitex for height. Add in some evergreen perennials, such as bottlebrush and yaupon holly. These could be the flowering background to plantings in the front of wildflowers, annuals, and smaller perennials. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-17881357300516208602017-08-03T19:27:09.775-05:002017-08-03T19:27:09.775-05:00The fence is rustic and beautiful.

Sow your seeds too early and rodents, bugs, and birds will scarf them down before they have a chance to germinate. Wait until the spring and you've missed out on the crucial winter chill.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-79689132627519231082017-08-03T12:55:17.198-05:002017-08-03T12:55:17.198-05:00So pretty!
