You guys are great. Been dealing with computer issues and forgot I had posted asking for help. These are all good ideas and I thank you all.
Didn't know that there was a dwarf spring blooming Esperanza. I've got a larger one already planted. Just planted an Arroyo Sweetwood in my Hell Strip. To the outside of the chainlink fence is the Everblooming Texas Sage which blooms lavender. The Arroyo Sweetwood is deciduous which should give it plenty of sun in the winter. Also fast growing. I'm hoping to start some seeds if I can find some.
Thanks again for all your help!
