TX Native Landscaping Must Have Book

This is the best book I have found with information about TX native plants and it has great ideas for TX Native Plant Lanscaping for all regions of TX, from the Heat and Humidity of East TX to the heat,cold, and wind of the Panhandle. A must have information book in this era of water shortages.

Highly Recommended

This is a highly useful, and useable, book outlining the native Texas plants that have significant gardening interest. I only wish I could have gotten a hardback version, because the binding is getting quite a lot of use ;) . It is well-illustrated, offers an interesting site-plan example for each of the various soil/climate regions in Texas, and contains a good deal of useful information.

My only wish would be for more information regarding adapting plants to areas outside of their original regions, especially how to accomidate them, if possible, in the Houstom area, because many of the native species listed seem to come from drier regions that don't have gumbo-clay soil.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to Texas gardeners and to gardeners elsewhere interested in utilizing these plants. Although I've heard it said that mixing native plant species with exotics will end with the exotics taking over, I nevertheless think that a wide variety of gardeners could use various plants in the book to replace a number of the exotic, high-maintenence plants that are unfortunately common, and less interesting.

Native Texas Plants

Very satosfoed with this book. It's a bit citified for me, perhaps, but otherwise, it's a comprehensive treatise on Texas flora.
