In this podcast episode, I’ll share with you why storms from the north are so much more dangerous for our gardens this time of year than a regular winter freeze, how to prepare your plants for environmental stressors, and how to help them recover afterwards or what to look for to determine if your plant is going to survive into the next season.
For the past couple decades, the buzz phrase in ornamental landscape gardening has been “drought tolerant” and “ native plants,” but drought tolerance doesn’t do you any favors in a freeze AND Texas has so many different growing regions that a Texas native plant may not be suited for your area. In this episode, I’ll introduce you to alternative ornamental shrubs including native and adapted plants that are extremely freeze tolerant, some perennials to consider, how to care for deciduous plants or woody perennials in cold weather, and which drought tolerant plants you should actually avoid in the Houston area and why.
