Well, where can I find a copy of this list? I've checked TAMU and
http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/growgreen/ ; no luck so far.

I'm stickin' with mostly but not entirely natives, and would rather not
plant something that could become invasive.

The list in the brochure which is free.

Here is a list of garden centers which have the brochure, but you can click on
the plants menu to the left of the screen and it will bring up many, many
acceptable plants. You can use Nandina, just not N.domestica. The dwarf forms
are okay and do well here. 'Nana' is a variety of one particular nandina which
is nice for this climate and soil type.
