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.

Don’t be jelly because all you can grow is thorn bush south of I10

You people are why ISIS hates us. Your plant selections are horrible.

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.

Please tell us how you really feel.

You don’t want me to do that.

After years of having roses, I finally gave up. I lost my entire garden to RRD before we moved. I'm planting for a different climate down here and looking at things like Barbados cherry and pineapple guava. If you want a pretty shrub - especially in the summer, at the moment I'd look at purple sage / cenzio.

For the love of all that is holy, please plant that cenizo no less than 15’ from a building, sidewalk, or driveway, and if you love sweet baby jebus, don’t use hedge trimmers on it. The plant wants to be gigantic. It does not want to be square, or round, or whatever goofy [censored] shapes that people come up with. You don’t have an English tea garden, and you never will. Let plants do their thing, people.
