@slowcala, The two plants I had in two huge planters at the foot of my front steps burned off in our Texas mid-summer scorching heat. My sprinkler system doesn't hit those two pots and I have to remember to water them regularly or they succumb to our heat (or my failing to water often enough). I rarely use my front door is the thing. You know the old: "Out of sight, out of mind" thing. But that is the kiss of the death in Texas summers. My husband isn't fond of doing the no-grass thing :(, which is one reason I've only tried it in pots. Maybe I could try it in those large planters again, and dolly them over to the shadier beds in my front yard when it gets too hot in August/September to take my 'neglect' at times.
