Abelia is one of my favorites for a flowering shrub. They have a new variety called a Kaleidoscope Abelia which is variegated with a bold leaf color. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/02/full-6737-39808-abelia_kaleidoscope.jpg)

Mix of Sunshine Ligustrums, Purple Diamond Lorapetalums and Dwarf Pittosporum. Maintenance free other than a little pruning of the ligustrums.

Roller has a good idea too. Abelia attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

Check out the dwarf black diamond crape myrtle. I think the dwarf CM will be my default if I don't find anything else. I have 3-4 Dwarfs right now and they are great. I'll look into the black diamond. I'm trying to find something I don't have first.

Full sun
Ground coverโwalkerโs low catmint
Medium heightโrosemary and Texas sage bush
Tall shrubโVitex
Part sun
Groundcoverโcreeping speedwell
Medium height shrubโazalea. I prefer the looks of camellia, but they are less resilient
Taller shrub. Fern
Dug up my Azaleas last year. My soil Ph is pretty high and they weren't doing that great. I planted 2 types of rosemary's last year. If they don't bloom this year I am going to spray them with roundup.

The rosemary in full sun has been blooming this week
Itโll bloom sporadically throughout the year after rains; especially if you prune it every 3 months or so from March to mid November.

You people are why ISIS hates us. Your plant selections are horrible.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

I have had zero luck with the dwarf black diamond crepe myrtles. They all got diseased and did not bloom after year 1. I may not have had good enough air circulation around them.
