Hello from Houston. Azaleas do well here, Carolina Jasmine blooms beautifully in February, and the Tulip trees are also real show stoppers and don't get too big. Indian Hawthorne is a shrub that can take the horrible summer heat but will be in bloom in March. Sago palms make beautiful accent plants, and bouganvilla is a burst of color alll summer long. Hibiscus' colorful blooms come in all hues. I have a rain tree in my back yard, and it blooms a beautiful fiery orange in the fall. And , of course, you'll see a crepe myrtle just about everywhere. Beautiful and low maintenance. One of the best book investments you can make is to buy Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening. Good luck and have fun !!
