We are a northern suburb of Houston, with long hot and tropical summers and generally short, mild winters with a freeze here and there. I will check into your plants mentioned. The area I need help with is surrounded by mature trees. No matter how much water it gets in that area, the trees take it up, ALL of it. Any plants suffer, except for the Cast Iron Plant/aspidistra. P;us because of the trees very little light makes it into the area. Where are you located? I am Zone 9a.



You're in Huston? You have my sympathies...
I can't remember what the soil is like there... seems like I remember it being sandy... which can be tough...

I'm in the sand hills near Macon GA
Zone 8a...

Maybe you'd care to visit my garden?
Here's a christmas post from 2011

My shade plants are featured in the winter months...

Fair warning, the hellebore leaves will be laying flat on the ground in the hot dry summer months... and recover when the rains come...
My garden plants have permission to die... I'm not watering nething except food, and often, not even that.
We had drought when yall were under that heat dome... misery loves company, right?
