Christine, Texas Persimmon germinates okay here...but it's slow-growing. Luckily, I already had one in yard that was a female, so it always produces fruit. There's other persimmons on the property, but they seldom bloom...either too shaded out or not female, I guess. I keep losing Echinaceas from time to time also. That's why there's none in the yard now. Not sure if I'm going to plant any new wildflower seeds this year. I am starting some Texas Milkweed and maybe some A. curassavica also, but that's not new. The Carolina Jessamine has started blooming a little outside.
