Ground cover flower
Comments (6)This is the sort of question where reposting to the Texas forum may give you better advice tailored to your local circumstances. The list of ground cover type plants provided by Yardvaark may be an excellent start, but there are others that may expand the list or come closer to your preferences. I seem to recall that Trachelospermum asiaticum is quite commonly used in Dallas for shaded locations, and has rather inconspicuous white flowers. Tracheloapermum jasminoides is a showier flowering and _taller growing species with fragrant white flowers, but isn't as cold hardy and subject to occasional winter freeze damage in Dallas. Another very tough shade and drought tolerant flowering ground cover for these conditions might include the blue flowering Vinca major. Many people consider this somewhat invasive, but it will certainly take the conditions and look lush with less irrigation requires than the existing turf. You might want to research appropriate shade and drought tolerant plant choices in a book such as Sunset Western Garden Book, I this k there is a similar book for the south published by Southern Living Magazine, a sister publication to Sunset Magazine....See Moreflowering ground cover for shade?

Comments (6)So......that must be what happened to mine, when I transplanted the little plants into my windowboxes last fall. They just kinda sat there and sulked, dropped some of their leaves. I didn't see any new growth, although we had mild, sunny, and beautiful fall weather till at least Dec., and they're on the south side of the house. I thought I had surely done something wrong, and watered them like crazy. Lo and behold, come spring, they sort of woke up, and although they're not blooming yet, they have probably tripled in size! [Yes, I do baby them.] I learn something new every time I'm on this forum; thanks for the info.!...See MoreStephanotis (madagascar jasmine) will not flower
Comments (63)I bought a small (6 leaves or so but most likely a cutting propagation) stephanotis exactly one year back. It was indoors for the winter in a sunny SE window, had a cool unheated month in january, grew some last fall winter, a lot more in spring outdoors in partial western sun but no buds till I spied tiny buds yesterday. I am not sure what triggered the blooms, the ironite I fed a couple of times, some epsom salt a month back or so, the watering getting neglected to the extent that leaves become soft, droopy, wilty, the dry cold windy weather off late. Anyhow, I am thrilled. I will update how this turns out....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
