Learning Native Plants for the Wimberley Area

The plants that do exceptionally well in a given year depend upon the recent weather.

When it rained, how much it rained, when it froze, how cold it got for how long, when we hit 100 and for how long, all influence which plants thrive. This year, for example, my Coralbean plant was spectacular with its numerous bright red flower spikes.

However, this year I never saw a Mountain Laurel flower in my yard. Since my Mountain Laurels have been established enough to bloom, they never missed a year before.
