Hello fellow Texas gardeners,
I live in Ellis County (Ennis to be exact) and have a good bit of property......all of which is FULL SUN from sun up to sun down. I would absolutely LOVE to grow hydrangea, which I know is impossible with my growing conditions here. However, I've been looking into the next best thing (in my opinion), which is snowball viburnum. I am afraid, tho, that even that will bake to a crisp during our brutal summers. Am I correct in assuming this of the snowball viburnum? Have any of you had any luck growing it in our full sun? Thank you all in advance, and happy HOT gardening!

Alicia, I have no hands on experience with either. I'm afraid you may have nailed it when you said baked to a crisp.

I don't know if you are new to Texas but I was over 50 years ago. It was a steep learning curve on what I could successfully grow. At least you are asking.

My Annabelle hydrangeas on the north side of my house are 10 years old

Do they get any shade, or are they full sun?

White Lantana or yellow lantana

Drought tolerant too!
